Patient's question:
Nowadays, I always feel stomach pain, sometimes at night, and it's usually in the chest area in waves. The past two days, it's been a bit painful after meals, and I've been eating my three meals on time, though not excessively. What could be the reason for this? Is it related to staying up late? Why do I also feel stomach acid with the stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Consider gastritis caused by irregular diet, overeating, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and so on. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination when necessary. While undergoing medication and treatment, maintain a regular diet, avoid extreme hunger or fullness, and follow the principle of eating small, frequent meals. Opt for light and simple foods, avoiding excessively cold, hot, or hard foods. Refrain from consuming unclean food. For patients, if the condition of stomach acid is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are required. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of stomach acid issues. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
