Patient's question:
Pain in the stomach when eating, also pain in the chest, no constipation. The doctor said it was gastritis, but the medicine didn't work. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition belongs to common symptoms of stomach diseases, caused by damp-heat stagnation in the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic gastritis. The symptoms are not specific and their severity does not necessarily match the degree of gastritis in the stomach lining. Most patients are often asymptomatic or experience varying degrees of digestive disorders, such as dull upper abdominal pain, reduced appetite, post-meal fullness, acid reflux, etc. Patients with atrophic gastritis may have anemia, edema, glossitis, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, patients with mucosal erosion may experience more pronounced upper abdominal pain and even skin peeling. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with gastritis should pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and proper nutrition in daily life.
