Patient's question:
At the age of 20, I've been experiencing nausea and dry heaving for a month. The first two weeks, I took Western medicine for gastritis, but it didn't seem to help, so I stopped taking it after a few doses and started taking traditional Chinese medicine for a week. This week, I've started vomiting acidic water and undigested food, and I have very little appetite. The doctor recommended I have an endoscopy, but I'm too scared to do it. What could be the problem?Doctor's answer:
Nausea, retching, vomiting acid water, in this case, it is possible that it is gastritis or ulcer. According to the situation you described, it is recommended to take Xiang Sha Yang Wei Wan for treatment and try it. It is best to have an endoscopy examination. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, eat less fried, grilled, and cold, hard, and acidic foods, and eat more easily digestible foods. The treatment of stomach disease is mainly based on dietary regulation, so it is said that "three parts of treatment and seven parts of nourishment." Gastritis is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce their confidence in fighting gastritis and believe that they can definitely recover.
