Patient's question:
Because I felt bad a few days ago and basically didn't eat anything, I only had a little for lunch that day. These past few days, my stomach has been uncomfortable all day. I can't tell if it's pain, bloating, or hunger. Anyway, when my stomach is hungry, it feels like pain, and when it's full, it also feels like pain. It feels like there's a heavy weight pressing on my chest. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Excessive overthinking can harm the spleen and stomach, while a bad mood and unrelieved liver qi can suppress the spleen, making it flexible and uncomfortable. It is recommended to use Xiaoyao pills for regulation. Additionally, the diet should be light, with less greasy food and fewer cold drinks. You can eat more buckwheat, oats, Job's tears, red beans, sesame seeds, lily bulbs, lotus seed porridge, yam porridge, walnuts, etc., to regulate the spleen and stomach. There are many treatment methods for stomach pain, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to provide symptomatic treatment.
