Patient's question:
Woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden surge of water in my mouth. This has happened to me several times before, and I noticed it was always after eating noodles or vermicelli. When I woke up, my stomach would feel very uncomfortable, and my mouth would be full of water, a bit salty, and it would just keep increasing until I felt like vomiting. Is this because of a problem in my stomach, or is it because I ate something bad?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on your description, your condition is likely caused by excessive stomach acid secretion due to improper diet, leading to acid reflux. It is recommended to maintain a regular lifestyle, eat meals on time, and consume light, easily digestible foods. Avoid eating dinner too late. Consider taking Omeprazole to inhibit stomach acid secretion. There is also a high possibility of acute gastritis, as foods like vermicelli are difficult to digest. It is advised to eat light, easily digestible foods in the near future and avoid spicy, irritating, and fried foods. Avoid cold and cooling foods as well. Eat small meals frequently. After recovery, it is also important to reduce the consumption of foods like vermicelli.
