Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach feels dull pain sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Am I suffering from anorexia?Doctor's answer:
Psychogenic anorexia, generally with a course of less than two weeks, involves a persistent pursuit of a perfect body shape, leading to symptoms such as a lack of hunger and nausea, vomiting, or dry heaves when eating. In this case, it is advisable to seek follow-up in the psychiatric department promptly. First, the worldview should be re-adjusted, and behavioral correction therapy can be employed to help gradually restore normal eating habits.
