Do you often have stomach pain and bloating? Then you have to be careful

Stomach pain and bloating are common symptoms of stomach problems in life. Most people do not take these symptoms seriously when they occur, and just take some medicine to relieve them, which eventually leads to worsening of the disease and serious impact on human health. So what are the specific dangers of stomach pain and bloating?

1. Nausea and vomiting

People with stomach pain usually experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which can make people feel very uncomfortable, and stomach pain may be a sign of many acute diseases.

Vomiting during or early after eating is common in pyloric ulcer or psychogenic vomiting; vomiting late in eating or after several meals is seen in pyloric obstruction, intestinal obstruction, gastroparesis or duodenal congestion caused by compression of the superior mesenteric artery; vomiting accompanied by abdominal pain is common in inflammation, obstruction and rupture of abdominal organs; abdominal pain that is temporarily relieved after vomiting indicates peptic ulcer, acute gastritis and gastrointestinal obstructive disease; abdominal pain that cannot be relieved after vomiting is common in biliary tract diseases, urinary system diseases, acute pancreatitis, etc.

2. Fever

Many patients with stomach pain are likely to have a fever. Fever can make people feel very uncomfortable, and there are many factors that can cause fever in people with stomach pain. Stomach pain accompanied by fever indicates inflammatory lesions in the gastric viscera, such as acute gastritis, pancreatitis, etc. If fever comes first and then stomach pain occurs, it indicates internal diseases such as pneumonia, pneumococcal pneumonia, pneumopleurisy, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, primary gastritis, etc.

3. Abnormal urination and defecation

Stomach pain accompanied by oliguria, anuria, or frequent urination, urgency, blood, and pus in the urine often indicates inflammation of the urinary system. Some patients with stomach pain may experience abnormal bowel movements, the main possible condition being diarrhea, and may also cause blood in the stool, etc. These conditions can have a very serious impact on human health.

4. Affects blood circulation

The abdomen is bloated, the diaphragm is lifted, the chest cavity is compressed, and the heart's contraction and relaxation functions are affected. The intestinal cavity is bloated and the intestinal pressure increases, affecting the blood circulation of the intestinal wall. The intra-abdominal pressure increases and the return of blood from the inferior vena cava is obstructed, which reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart, affecting cardiac ejection.

5. Water and electrolyte imbalance

Severe gastric bloating causes retention of intestinal contents and compression of the intestinal wall, which not only affects the absorption of intestinal contents, but also causes intestinal wall plasma to seep into the intestinal cavity, causing an imbalance of water and electrolytes.

6. Toxin Absorption

The chyme retained in the intestinal cavity ferments and rots under the action of bacteria, producing toxins and gas, which are absorbed by the body and aggravate the condition.

7. Affects breathing

Stomach bloating is likely to cause the chest cavity to shrink, which will severely restrict the respiratory function of the lungs, and in this case it is likely to cause difficulty breathing. Abdominal distension, elevated diaphragm, smaller chest cavity, and restricted lung breathing function can cause breathing difficulties.
