Patient's question:
My husband is 30 years old this year. Due to nursing reasons, he has had an irregular diet for a long time, sometimes even skipping meals. Over time, he often experiences stomach pain. Six months ago, he received a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with gastritis. Recently, every time his gastritis flares up, he feels weak all over and has limb weakness. Hello, what is the reason for gastritis causing weakness all over and limb weakness?Doctor's answer:
Patients with gastritis may experience weakness in their limbs again due to poor long-term dietary habits leading to malnutrition or even anemia. It is recommended that if patients experience these symptoms again, they should visit a hospital for a thorough gastroscopy examination, blood routine examination, stool routine examination, occult blood test, and other relevant tests. In terms of treatment, it is advised that patients use proton pump inhibitors, mucosal protectants, H2 receptor antagonists, etc., while also enhancing their nutrition.
