What are the symptoms of chronic gastritis? One look and you'll know

Chronic gastritis is a common disease in life. Because the symptoms are not obvious at the beginning, many patients’ condition worsens due to failure to discover it in time. So what are the common symptoms and manifestations of chronic gastritis?

Symptoms of chronic gastritis

1. Abdominal discomfort

Discomfort, fullness, dull pain, burning pain in the upper abdomen. The symptoms are particularly severe after eating, and are also accompanied by loss of appetite, belching, heartburn, nausea, chest tightness, and hiccups.

2. Abdominal pain

Pain or dull pain in the upper abdomen. Most people feel more comfortable on an empty stomach, and the pain becomes more noticeable after eating. Eating cold food, hard food, spicy or other irritating food can trigger the disease.

3. Belching

Because the patient eats some foods that easily produce gas, the gas in the patient's stomach increases, causing belching. It is usually discharged through the esophagus, which can temporarily relieve upper abdominal fullness.

4. Fullness

Many patients sometimes feel full even when they eat a small amount of food. They even feel full in the upper abdomen when they are empty stomach.

5. Anemia

Patients with autoimmune gastritis may also suffer from anemia.

6. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding

As a result, black stools may occur and sometimes vomiting of blood may occur.

Friendly reminder

Chronic gastritis is a chronic stomach disease. Its symptoms are not obvious when it is mild. Many patients ignore the condition during the asymptomatic period. When symptoms occur, they just buy some stomach medicine to temporarily relieve the condition. Random use of medicine cannot control the condition. In severe cases, it will cause the condition to worsen. Patients should go to a professional hospital for treatment.
