Doctor's answer:
First of all, I wish you good health. It is likely that you have gastritis. Gastritis is a general term for inflammation of the gastric mucosa. It is a common disease and can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute gastritis is commonly of simple or erosive types. The former manifests as upper abdominal discomfort, pain, anorexia, nausea, and dry vomiting. The latter is primarily characterized by gastrointestinal bleeding, with symptoms such as vomiting blood and black stools. It is important to pay attention to regular eating habits, eat at fixed times and in appropriate quantities, and avoid overeating. Each of the three daily meals should be a nutritionally balanced diet to prevent various dietary impacts. It is recommended that you visit the hospital as soon as possible for a follow-up examination, have an endoscopy to check, and then make a judgment.
