Symptoms of gastric nerve spasm

Everyone must pay attention to protecting their stomach in daily life, because many people develop stomach problems when they reach a certain age because they do not protect their stomach. Stomach problems not only cause a person to lose appetite, but also affect a person's normal digestive function. There are many nerves distributed in the stomach. Some people will experience gastric nerve spasms after suffering from stomach problems. So what are the symptoms of gastric nerve spasms?

Clinical manifestations

People who experience gastric spasm mainly experience upper abdominal pain, vomiting, etc. Patients with stomach problems, such as gastric ulcers, stomach cold, gastritis, etc., are very likely to suffer from stomach muscle cramps.

1. Patients often flex their upper limbs or press hard with their fists to relieve pain. The pain often radiates to the left chest, left shoulder blade, and back. At the same time, the rectus abdominis muscle also becomes spasmodic. Or it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or even pale face, cold hands and feet, cold sweat, and even unconsciousness. The symptoms may be relieved after a few minutes or hours due to belching or vomiting. After the pain stops, health returns to normal. The attacks occur several times a day, or once every few days or months.

2. Sudden severe abdominal pain, like the pain of a knife, a needle, burning, or twisting.

3. Neurohormonal effects can cause stomach cramps. Gastric smooth muscle spasm is like a calf cramp. When it occurs, the abdominal pain is unbearable, and in severe cases, nausea and vomiting may occur.

Differential Diagnosis

1. Acute stomach pain is often seen in acute and chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and gastric neurosis. It is also seen in diseases such as gastric mucosal prolapse, gastroptosis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. Acute stomach pain comes on suddenly, changes rapidly, and the condition is serious. The patient feels severe stomach pain, accompanied by hiccups, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chest tightness and other symptoms.

2. Chronic stomach pain is common in chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis refers to various chronic inflammatory lesions of the gastric mucosa caused by different causes. It is a common disease, and its incidence rate ranks first among various stomach diseases. Since the widespread use of fiber endoscopy, the understanding of this disease has been significantly improved. Chronic gastritis often causes a certain degree of gastric mucosal atrophy (loss of mucosal function) and metaplasia, often involving the cardia, accompanied by loss of G cells and decreased gastrin secretion. It can also involve the gastric body, accompanied by loss of acid-secreting glands, leading to a decrease in gastric acid, pepsin and intrinsic factors.

3. Gastrointestinal flatulence is caused by gastrointestinal obstruction or obstruction due to various reasons. The gastrointestinal gas cannot be discharged from the body with gastrointestinal peristalsis and accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract, which is called gastrointestinal flatulence. Flatulence can be either functional or organic. For example, irritable bowel syndrome and gastroparesis caused by diabetes can cause gastrointestinal bloating to become functional bloating. Pyloric obstruction and intestinal obstruction are mostly caused by organic bloating. It often coexists with constipation.

4. Stomach cold pain is the clinical manifestation of stomach cold syndrome. Stomach cold syndrome refers to the symptoms caused by Yin cold staying in the stomach, which is mostly caused by overeating raw and cold food. 5. Stomach pain Stomach pain is a non-specific symptom, often caused by gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, etc. In addition, upper abdominal pain is not necessarily caused by stomach disease, it may also be caused by liver or diaphragm diseases.

6. Functional dyspepsia (epigastric pain syndrome) In the Rome III diagnostic system for functional gastrointestinal diseases, functional dyspepsia is divided into "postprandial discomfort syndrome" and "epigastric pain syndrome"
