Bad breath all the time

Hi I have bad breath and it does not matter how much I brush and wash my mouth it still stinks literally 24*7, I use Therabreath , clorexidine , peroxide, yougur , k12 probiotics, saline solution , nasal irrigator , tongue scraper and every type of mouth wash there is and nothing seems to work the horrible smell wont go away not even for a minute , I remember one time that I used clorexine somebody on the bus said it smells like rotten limon in here ,I felt so bad , my breath is so bad that people mell it several feet away I can tell by the way they cough or cover their nose , I ask my girlfriend to be honest she said some wierd smell comes out of my nose, even when my mouth is closed and even if I dont talk or breed and this is the strange part of the problem some times I hold my breath when I walk across people and they cough I ask my girlfriend she said it smell even if I dont breed and it gets alot worst when you swallow. I ask my best friend and my mon and they said I had to check my self out cause I smell very strange , I had this problem for 5 years now and it already became critical.
. I even had my tonsils removed and I also drink alot of water every day so my mouth is not dry ,but  my tongue has a white film on it ,
the symtoms I have are , white film on my tongue , post nasal drip , I dont take any medications for this cause , I use to take some medication that dried my mouth  and it just made it worst.
     Some times i wonder could this smell be coming out of my stomach cause,  I remember one time the dentist told me I had an irritated throat , if it is how come it smell all the time even if i flush.

For the post nasal drip I have am going to see a nose , ear , throat specialist to see if its related to my badbreath I also have a big nasal polyp on the left side of my nose, that I believe could be related to my post nasal drip.

my social life became hell , and I need help please .

I don't know if it helps, but you're not alone. I have identical problems and symptoms to yours, white film on my tongue, post nasal drip, heartburn. My breath is so bad that i have to turn away from myself when i talk. I became aware of the problem when i was 12 years old and i've had it since. I'm now 44. In the same period, i've had acid reflux or heartburn so i tend believe that it's probably responsible for my bad breath. I have had many treatments over the years but none has helped. I have also developed other problems over the years like tonsilitis, gigiivitis but all have disappeared with treatment apart from the heartburn. I have done several diagnostic tests all revealing nothing.
3 years ago i went to a doctor who told me that my problem is located in my stomach. He then treated my for H. Pylori infection and for the first time in over thirty years I ACTUALLY HAD NO BAD BREATH FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. Eventually, the badbreath return and has remained. My doctor believes I should have continued the treatment for much longer. I tried the same treatment again but no help this time. My doctor believes the organism is resistant to one or more of the antibiotics and will choose a different course next time.
