Patient's question:
For over twenty years, it is more common in spring and summer. When the illness occurs, there is shortness of breath and weakness, and there is no appetite for dinner. Everyone has been seen, and now neither medicine can be taken nor medicine can be taken, it will be more serious. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can determine whether your stomach condition is due to cold, heat, bloating, or poor Qi flow. First, identify the root cause of the illness. You can take herbal decoctions as a treatment. In summary, stimulating your stomach meridian through massage is the best method for treating stomach problems. Using moxibustion on points like ST36 (Zusanli) is also effective. However, don’t overlook the fact that the spleen and stomach are mutually interconnected. Sometimes, discomfort in the spleen may actually indicate a spleen-related issue. If the stomach condition is severe, it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues to avoid spicy foods that may worsen the condition.
