Patient's question:
I have had stomach problems for a long time and have never had an endoscopy. When I came down, I had severe dry heaves without a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
The stomach diseases commonly mentioned by people generally refer to gastritis and duodenal ulcers. Gastritis is a general term for inflammation of the gastric mucosa. It frequently occurs between the ages of 40 and 50, with more males than females affected. There are many causes of stomach diseases, including hereditary factors, environment, diet, medication, bacterial infections, as well as smoking and drug use. Severe dry heaving in the morning when there is no bowel movement may be caused by gastritis, which leads to the gastric mucosa secreting gastric acid, damaging the stomach lining and causing mild irritation, especially when there is no bowel movement, resulting in dry heaving. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
