Stomach discomfort is associated with many symptoms, such as snoring, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chest tightness, etc. Because of the different symptoms of each disease, if accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, heartburn, snoring, etc., it may be an esophageal disease; Pain, fullness and tenderness, soreness, and even vomiting may be stomach ulcers, but if you have symptoms such as snoring, jaundice, and fever, it may not be related to the stomach or the gallbladder. Therefore, the symptoms associated with abdominal pain cannot be ignored.

Many people will make me feel uncomfortable recently, often stomachache or "I can't eat this, because stomach pain will hang on my mouth, but the stomach is uncomfortable is stomach pain? In the clinic, the word "stomach pain" often misleads doctors and patients. The experts reminded that stomach pain is not necessarily a disease of the "stomach". In addition to the uncomfortable upper abdomen, it may be accompanied by other symptoms. These symptoms are important signs for judging the disease. If the patient concentrates on the stomach "Up, may delay the diagnosis of other underlying diseases.

Therefore, do not think that it is stomach pain because of pain in the upper abdomen, and it may be a disease caused by other organs. To judge stomach pain, the more correct method is based on the location of pain, such as: left upper abdominal pain or left upper abdominal discomfort, and the pain time, such as one hour after meal, fasting, etc., and the accompanying symptoms are fully explained, such as Snoring, flatulence, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, etc., to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of doctors. Specifically, you can follow the four steps below:

1, the location of the pain

The stomach is located in the upper abdomen, the sternum is placed under the depression, and above the navel (near the heart socket). If the stomach is divided into four areas, the pain in the upper part of the left side is most likely to be stomach pain. However, it may be caused by diseases such as esophagus, duodenum, gallbladder, liver or pancreas. Therefore, it is necessary to use the time of pain, accompanying symptoms, etc. as a criterion for judgment.

2, pain time

Stomach pain occurs when a certain meal is eaten after a meal or before a meal, or when hunger is overeating. Since stomach discomfort is mostly closely related to eating, it is more accurate to use the time, habits, content, and types of eating as the criteria for discrimination.

3, observe the symptoms

Stomach discomfort is associated with many symptoms, such as snoring, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chest tightness, etc. Because of the different symptoms of each disease, if accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, heartburn, snoring, etc., it may be an esophageal disease; Pain, fullness and tenderness, soreness, and even vomiting may be stomach ulcers, but if you have symptoms such as snoring, jaundice, and fever, it may not be related to the stomach or the gallbladder. Therefore, the symptoms associated with abdominal pain cannot be ignored.

4, go to the hospital for inspection

If the situation is complicated, it is difficult to determine which position is uncomfortable and the time of the attack and the nature of the pain. You should go to the hospital immediately to ask the doctor for diagnosis and examination. This is the most direct and accurate method.

Experts suggest that people who think they have symptoms of stomach pain should not be judged as "stomach pain" because of a pain in the upper abdomen. They are rushing to the hospital for examination and telling the doctor that they are "stomach" pain, which may cause misdiagnosis or delay the condition. It is best to describe the condition in terms of the location of the pain and the appearance of the symptoms. After a thorough diagnosis, it can be determined whether it is a "stomach" problem.
