Patient's question:
My friend's partner hasn't had much strength in their legs recently, always feeling dizzy and lightheaded. They can't even stand steadily, and their ability to respond has become quite unclear. Later, they were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the hospital. My friend doesn't understand this disease and is very anxious now. After having multiple sclerosis, their feet swell severely every day. What are the dangers of multiple sclerosis?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of the gastrointestinal tract are often misdiagnosed, primarily characterized by retrosternal burning pain, acid reflux, and a feeling of choking after swallowing dry food. These non-specific manifestations of the gastrointestinal tract are rarely the attention of patients, especially in the early stages of the disease. When it progresses to the late stage, patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, intermittent nausea and vomiting, and abnormal bowel movements. Early renal damage manifests as mild proteinuria or microscopic hematuria, which can gradually lead to kidney dysfunction. Some patients may develop acute kidney failure, oliguria, anuria, or rapidly progressing malignant hypertension, requiring long-term control. Symptoms may include headaches, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting.
