Patient's question:
I felt bloated after eating and had difficulty breathing while holding my breath. So I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who prescribed a week's worth of medicine. After taking it, I felt better. I went back for another check-up, and the doctor prescribed another week's worth of medicine. When I took it again, I started having trouble breathing. I then switched to the head doctor, who prescribed a week's worth of medicine. After taking it, I felt fine. But after another week's worth, I had breathing problems again. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Stomach discomfort, should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to have an endoscopy and a 13C urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to thoroughly investigate the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to a regular lifestyle, eat a proper diet, and consume light, easily digestible foods. Avoid stimulating foods and get adequate rest.
