My stomach suddenly has a sour stomach ache

Answer 1

Sudden gastric acid and stomach pain could be caused by many factors.

On the one hand, bad eating habits may be the cause, such as eating too much, eating spicy and stimulating food, or drinking too much. These behaviors will stimulate the gastric mucus and increase gastric acid secretion, resulting in stomach pain and acid repulsion symptoms. In this case, you should improve your eating habits and maintain a light diet.

On the other hand, it might be a disease factor, such as stomach diseases such as Gastritis, Reflux Carcinosis, Peptic Ulcer, etc., where excessive gastric acid secretion would cause acid reversal symptoms, and gastric acid would stimulate the gastric membrane, causing damage and causing stomach pain. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, liver problems may also affect the stomach. For example, when the liver-fire is exuberant, there may be a situation where the liver wood restrains the stomach soil, leading to disharmony of the stomach qi, causing stomach pain, acid aversion, and may also be accompanied by red tongue and yellow tongue.

If this happens, you can try to apply hot water to your abdomen, gently massage your stomach, or drink some hot water to relieve it.(If it's a stomachache caused by nervousness or anger, this method may be effective.) If the symptoms are more obvious or continue to be unrelieved, it is recommended to go to the Digestive Department in time to check the items such as the gastroscope to determine the specific cause of the disease, and then carry out the corresponding treatment according to the cause. For example, if it is a related disease caused by hypergastric acid (such as digestive ulcers, gastroesophagus reflex disease, and intestinal damage caused by non-fluid anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.), you can take acid suppressive drugs such as omeprazol, pantoprazol, or drugs that protect the gastric mucus such as Rebamipide. However, it should be noted that not all patients with stomachache, bloating, acid aversion, or heartburn are suitable for omeprazol. If the cause is not determined, abuse may bring side effects. If it was a disharmony between the liver and stomach, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and other traditional Chinese medicine symptoms, it would need to be treated according to the corresponding traditional Chinese medicine syndrome. For example, the use of Chaihu Shugan powder and Huangqi Jianzhong decoction for conditioning.
