Patient's question:
When I was in high school, because I was staying with others, for a while I skipped dinner every day to diet. At the time, I didn't notice anything, but after going to college, I often got stomachaches, felt bloated, and occasionally felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. I had diarrhea, vomited acid water, and it was very painful. Each time the pain lasted for half an hour to an hour.Doctor's answer:
Your stomach pain is likely very related to your experience of not having dinner. Irregular eating habits can easily lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, causing food stagnation in the middle jiao and impaired qi flow, which results in stomach pain. Of course, the recurrence of stomach pain can be attributed to various factors, such as engaging in activity immediately after a full meal, eating foods that are difficult to digest, or even excessive work stress, all of which can easily trigger stomach pain. There are several treatment methods for stomach pain, but since patients' symptoms vary, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis so that they can be treated accordingly.
