What to do if you have a stomachache while working the night shift

Patient's question:

I always break out in cold sweat when working night shifts! I also always have the sensation of hiccuping but unable to actually hiccup, and I feel nauseous and like I want to vomit. It feels like my mouth is very greasy. Recently, I often drink tea when working night shifts to stay alert and wake up my brain. I brew it quite strong. What could be the reason for this? What should I eat or do to feel better?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is important to pay attention to the possibility of gastritis or stomach spasm, which should be considered alongside the likelihood caused by drinking tea on an empty stomach. Timely and thorough examinations such as gastroscopy and liver function tests should be conducted. Avoid drinking strong tea and take medications like Montmorillonite powder for treatment. If necessary, seek medical attention from a gastroenterology department for targeted treatment. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with stomach pain should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep will help you recover more quickly from this condition.
