Who to contact?
What to take with gravity in the stomach?
Many people are interested in the question of what to take with gravity in the stomach? First and foremost, you should ask a specialist for help. It is not recommended to start treatment independently. The fact is that the heaviness in the stomach can be a symptom of many diseases.
So, what can be taken to get rid of unpleasant manifestations? The first thing to do is to revise your own diet. The less negative products, the faster a person will feel relieved. It is enough simply to start to eat in small quantities and not overeat, as the symptom begins to disappear on its own.
In more complex cases, one food is not enough. To help come certain medicines. Among them are Mezim, Festal, Smektu, Panzinorm and even Allochol. These are the most common drugs. Take them yourself is not recommended. The fact is that their action is directed to the entire digestive system and the dosage directly depends on the complexity of the situation. Remove the heaviness in the stomach with the help of them you can, but do it with extreme caution.
Treating eructations and heaviness in the stomach
First of all, it is necessary to understand that there can be many reasons for such symptoms. By itself, belching is the excretion of gases formed in the stomach and esophagus. Most often these gases are output gradually. If they come out in the form of eructations, the blame for everything is the increase in the pressure of gases inside the stomach. Usually this phenomenon is temporary and in itself passes. But both eructation and heaviness in the stomach can be symptoms of certain diseases. Therefore, a physiological and pathological eructation is distinguished. And for the effective treatment of such symptoms as belching and heaviness in the stomach, it is necessary to correctly determine the disease that caused them. Most often in this situation we are talking about gastritis, stomach ulcer or other abnormalities of the stomach and esophagus. Therefore, treatment is prescribed the same as with such diseases. This is a special diet, and a number of specialized drugs. Of course, it is necessary to exclude those factors, which in themselves can cause such a symptomatology. Such factors include the use of carbonated drinks, spicy foods, overeating.
In any case, the treatment of eructations and heaviness in the stomach are often interfaced. Therefore, when it comes to the severity of the stomach and eructations, it is not necessary to treat them, because these are only symptoms, but the illness that caused it.
Treatment of severity in the stomach and nausea
Treatment of severity in the stomach and nausea also often go in pairs.
Nausea can be a symptom of many abnormalities. This may be a consequence of poisoning, and a sign of the development of an oncological tumor. But the vast majority of cases of nausea go hand in hand with the severity in the stomach in the case of inflammatory diseases of the stomach, esophagus or duodenum. Of course, it is important to exclude some common and obvious causes of such symptoms. Moreover, the severity in the stomach is very difficult to distinguish against a background of nausea. If you do not talk about diseases of the stomach, then these symptoms can occur during pregnancy, with a clear change in diet or by own decision, or because of a change in the place of residence or visiting an exotic country.
But if the cause is a malfunction in the stomach, then their treatment is associated with the usual tactics of treating stomach diseases. In each case, the schemes are selected individually. But you can also fight with symptoms. First, it is necessary to avoid factors that can cause the same symptoms. For example, you need to monitor the diet, avoid very fatty or sharp foods, do not abuse fast food. In addition, with nausea and heaviness in the stomach will help cope decoctions of mint and melissa, lemon, tea. But when taking such drugs, you need to take into account the acidity of the stomach. Also, you need to take into account other symptoms when there is treatment for the severity of the stomach.
Treatment of severity in the stomach and heartburn
Among themselves, infrequent treatment of severity in the stomach and heartburn. With such a phenomenon as heartburn, many are familiar. It is expressed in the form of unpleasant burning sensations in the larynx. And heartburn itself can occur and with a completely healthy stomach and intestines. Here much will depend on what food was taken, what was its quantity and combination. Also, heartburn can occur with an unsuccessful combination of food and exercise, which were too close in time to eating.
But if the heaviness in the stomach and heartburn often occur simultaneously and under different circumstances, then we can say, they are a symptom of certain diseases of the stomach.
Heartburn is related to the fact that the contents of the stomach, in particular gastric juice, get on the mucous membranes of the larynx and esophagus. In the gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, which has an extremely irritating effect on the mucous membranes of other organs. But in addition to it, discomfort is caused by enzymes of the stomach and pancreas, bile acids. This rose in norm should not occur, since the upper sphincter of the stomach should prevent the passage of stomach contents into the esophagus.
But in the case of abnormalities in the work of the stomach itself, the work of this sphincter can be disrupted. For example, an analogue of such a phenomenon as heartburn, in part is vomiting. In this case, the body realizes a protective function, perceiving the contents of the stomach as toxic or otherwise hazardous to health. If the mucous membrane of other tissues of the stomach is affected by such diseases as an ulcer, gastritis, then along with other symptoms, gravity in the stomach with heartburn is also observed. Causes of such symptoms may also be neoplasms of the stomach, such as tumors or cysts, which interfere with the normal functioning of the stomach, the passage of food, and therefore are perceived as foreign bodies and give symptoms such as heaviness in the stomach, heartburn and much more. Often the cause of such symptoms may be dyspepsia or reflux disease.
Therefore, the treatment of severity in the stomach should take into account the entire range of symptoms for a more correct choice of the method of treatment.
