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 started again. Could you please explain what "er" means?Doctor's answer:
Actually, this is a manifestation of diaphragmatic spasm. When the diaphragm experiences severe pain, it can lead to a decrease in local pressure, which in turn causes some gas in the stomach to regurgitate upwards, resulting in the symptoms mentioned above. It is essentially a clinical diagnostic symptom that often occurs secondary to certain diseases. Of course, some non-disease conditions can also present with the aforementioned symptoms, and it largely depends on the specific circumstances.
