2. Gastric bloating caused by chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc.

Chronic gastritis belongs to the category of old stomach diseases. Dampness and heat in the stomach prevent clear air from rising and turbid air from descending. The upward flow of turbid air causes bloating, hiccups, indigestion, acid reflux and other uncomfortable symptoms. Conventional treatment can only relieve symptoms, but not treat the root cause and cannot cure it. Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated a lot of unique treatment methods in the long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you use black alum, black dates, walnut kernels, gardenia, angelica, amomum, magnolia bark, triangularis, pangolin, Cunqu, malt, upper carapace, lower carapace, safflower, Hainan agarwood, iron gall powder, propolis, honey, beeswax, etc. for treatment. The effect is fast and the efficacy is definite. The combined use of these medicines can clear away dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, enhance gastrointestinal function, promote gastrointestinal motility, quickly repair gastric mucosa, and cleanse gastrointestinal turbidity, thereby achieving the purpose of healing.

3. Abnormal digestion.

Bad eating habits can also cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. If you often overeat, it is easy for too much food to accumulate in the stomach and cannot be digested in time. Exercising after a full meal will make the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath more obvious, usually manifested as sudden pain behind the sternum after a full meal, which lasts for a short time and is relieved after a short rest. In this case, it is recommended not to eat too much and strictly control food intake, which can relieve symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath and avoid obesity.

Patients with palpitations and insomnia often experience chest tightness and shortness of breath due to mental anxiety, excessive worry or emotional instability, which is more common in women. Some menopausal women often feel uneasy due to endocrine system disorders, which leads to poor sleep quality and even sleep disorders. Palpitations and panic can easily lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath. Therefore, eating more calming and sleep-inducing foods in life can effectively alleviate this symptom. You can choose milk, red dates, longan, wolfberry, honey and other foods to assist in the treatment of palpitations and insomnia.
