Patient's question:
When experiencing hiccups, I have pain on the left side of my chest. During the gastroscopy, only gastritis was observed, and it was diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease. So, I would like to ask, what are the causes of gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's symptoms and medical history, it is considered that the discomfort is caused by gastritis and esophagitis. It is also not ruled out that the pain may be due to myocarditis or pleurisy. It is recommended to use some gastric motility and acid-reducing medications, such as lansoprazole and mosapride or domperidone, to be taken orally. It is best to conduct a carbon breath test for a thorough examination. If it is positive, combined treatment with antibiotics is recommended. If the HP test is negative, focus on using the above medications or a combination of lansoprazole and Luozhuidele. Pay attention to dietary adjustments.
