Patient's question:
Medical Description: 19 weeks and 3 days pregnant, waking up in the morning and experiencing intermittent acid pain, very sour and uncomfortable, almost every minute with a 2-second acid sensation followed by another after a minute. This has been going on for half a day.History of Treatment and Effect: Previously had BC (likely referring to a medical check-up), and fetal heart rate was normal.
Desired Help: Want to know the cause, whether it's due to calcium deficiency or a neurological condition.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, I believe it is still caused by the symptoms of lumbar muscle strain due to overexertion. Generally, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications along with blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling drugs for treatment. Rest is important, and it is crucial to avoid overexertion.The pain in the right side of the lower back could suggest an injury to the ligaments or muscles around the lumbar spine. It could also be related to gynecological issues, such as pain during ovulation. I recommend waiting for a day or two to see if the condition improves. If it does not, you should seek medical attention.
It is advisable to perform lumbar and back muscle exercises every day. Acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, and cupping therapy can also be helpful. In daily life, it is important to participate in various outdoor activities and physical exercises regularly. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods and bending frequently. Additionally, focus on improving your nutrition.
