Patient's question:
As soon as I eat something, my stomach gets bloated. If I skip a meal and eat the next one, it's a bit better, but I can only eat about 30% full. If I eat every meal, my stomach gets extremely bloated. If I don't stop eating, my stomach gets even more bloated and a bit painful, and I don't feel like eating dinner either, nor do I feel hungry. My breath is very heavy, and I can feel it myself. Hello, what is this illness?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, feeling bloated after eating is likely caused by gastritis or indigestion. In traditional Chinese medicine, it may be related to spleen deficiency with qi stagnation. Symptoms of gastritis include a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen, belching, acid reflux, nausea, heartburn, dull pain, and decreased appetite. It is recommended that you undergo an endoscopy for a thorough examination. Additionally, for patients with bloating, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also very important. Patients should focus on digestible nutrients, prevent stomach upsets, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
