Stomach pain and nausea

There are many clinical manifestations of stomach disease. Some people will experience nausea and vomiting, some will have stomach pain, and some will often feel bloating. This is all caused by not eating on time or having a regular diet. Overeating and eating spicy, irritating, and cold foods can also irritate the stomach and cause stomach problems. For mild cases, you can use medication to treat them according to the doctor's instructions. In severe cases, it can cause stomach cancer and endanger life. So what is the cause of stomach pain and nausea?

It may be epigastric pain, with the following symptoms:

Epigastric pain, also known as stomachache, was called "heart and stomachache" or "heartache" in ancient times. It is a disease with frequent pain in the upper abdomen near the heart as the main clinical manifestation. In modern medicine, acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric mucosal prolapse, gastric spasm, gastric neurosis, duodenitis, gastric cancer and some hepatitis, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, biliary ascariasis, pancreatitis, etc. will all cause symptoms of epigastric pain.

Epigastric pain is only a clinical manifestation. In order to identify which type of stomach disease it is, we should further analyze and judge the acuteness, chronicity and changes in cold, heat, deficiency and excess of the disease based on the characteristics of its symptoms. Generally speaking, epigastric pain caused by the six evil spirits invading the stomach is mostly sudden and acute, with the main symptoms of excess. Chronic stomach pain and organ dysfunction will cause recurrent episodes of epigastric pain, which may be mild or severe, and is mostly chronic, with the main symptoms of deficiency.

When stomachache first occurs, the condition is relatively mild and the disease is mostly in the qi level. Any stomachache accompanied by a feeling of bloating and fullness, and the bloating and pain radiate to the flanks and back, and the pain is not fixed in a certain place, is mostly caused by qi stagnation. If stomachache does not heal for a long time, it is due to qi stagnation which leads to blood stasis, and the disease affects the blood. This type of stomachache is mainly characterized by stabbing pain in a specific area and is obviously resistant to pressure.

Any cold pain in the stomach that is aggravated by cold, and which is relieved by heat when eating hot foods is mostly a sign of cold syndrome. Any symptoms such as burning pain in the stomach, preference for raw and cold food, thirst and preference for cold drinks, or occasional vomiting of acid water are mostly caused by heat syndrome. Patients with a long course of illness, stomach pain that is relieved by pressing and squeezing, severe pain when hungry, and pain relief after eating are mostly suffering from deficiency syndrome. If the course of the disease is short, the stomach pain is resistant to pressure, the pain occurs when hungry, and the stomach pain worsens after eating, it is mostly a positive syndrome.

It may be a symptom of gastritis. You should pay attention to your diet and control the increase of stomach acid. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.
