Patient's question:
I had some corn and bean porridge for lunch, and there might have been a few beans that I didn't chew properly before swallowing. About ten minutes later, I took a dose of fluoxetine (an antidepressant, which should be taken after lunch since I didn't have breakfast). Then, I lay down flat to take a nap, but after waking up, I felt severe stomach bloating and pain. This has never happened to me before, and I've been taking this medication for a long time. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
It could be that your stomach has cooled down. When taking a nap, you can cover your stomach with your clothes. Also, corn is not easily absorbed. You can start by taking some anti-inflammatory medication for the gastrointestinal tract and blood-activating medication. If it doesn't work, I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. For people with stomach pain, while understanding professional treatment, they can also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it's important to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
