Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it came back. Please advise on treatment for lack of appetite and constipation?Doctor's answer:
Hello teenagers, these symptoms should be considered for gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic diseases. If you have stomach pain, acid reflux, or heartburn, it is recommended to undergo an endoscopy for a thorough examination. If necessary, oral medications to protect the gastric mucosa and laxatives can be taken. If the endoscopy is normal, it is advised to have a thyroid function test to check for hypothyroidism. Treatment should be guided based on the test results.
