Patient's question:
I usually dislike drinking beer and smoking. Previously, I didn't have any discomfort in my body, but recently I've been feeling pain in the upper abdomen and also a bit nauseous, wanting to vomit, but unable to. It's quite painful, somewhat similar to motion sickness. When I went to the doctor, they suspected it might be superficial gastritis. What are the symptoms of superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is similar to the early symptoms of superficial gastritis. It is a chronic superficial inflammation of the gastric mucosa, and patients may experience varying degrees of digestive discomfort, such as upper abdominal discomfort and mild pain after defecation, accompanied by belching, nausea, and acid reflux. Occasionally, there may be dry heaves. Generally, the symptoms are mild, and some may even have no obvious symptoms, but they can be detected during a careful endoscopic examination. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination before making a diagnosis. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with gastritis should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep will help you recover more quickly from the disease.
