Patient's question:
I would like to ask, what is acute gastritis? It's the kind of discomfort in the stomach after eating and walking a bit, and sometimes it's just stomach pain. Apart from that, it's a very painful thing that makes you break out in cold sweat and feel weak all over. Thank you, doctor, for helping me. May good people live in peace in their first half of life.Doctor's answer:
Acute gastritis is an acute inflammatory response of the gastric mucosa caused by factors such as food, medication, and emotions. Most cases present with symptoms like nausea, dry heaving, acid reflux, belching, abdominal pain, and similar symptoms. If stomach pain symptoms recur frequently, it is important to consider the possibility of gastritis, gastric ulcers, or other gastrointestinal diseases. It is recommended to visit the gastroenterology department of a hospital for a thorough examination, including an endoscopy and a carbon-14 breath test, to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
