Patient's question:
I have chronic superficial gastritis with hyperemia. Recently, I've been feeling extremely hungry and anxious, often still hungry even after meals. In late May, I had a thorough thyroid function check-up, which was normal. Currently, I'm taking Western medicine for gastritis and adjusting medication for neurasthenia, but it hasn't improved. I don't know what might have caused this. In late June, I had a miscarriage surgery, and my health has been poor ever since. What could be causing the hunger and anxiety? What tests should I undergo?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from chronic, superficial gastritis with erosion, thyroid function tests are normal. Taking Western medicine for stomach issues and adjusting Western medicine for neurasthenia, but it hasn't improved. Since the surgery, your physical condition has been poor, and you've experienced hunger and palpitations again. Your current physical condition is much worse, and you need proper regulation. Based on the above symptoms, it is possible that you have hypoglycemia, malnutrition, anemia, or myocardial ischemia. You can go to the hospital to check blood tests, glycated hemoglobin, and an electrocardiogram to confirm the diagnosis before implementing specific treatment for gastritis.
