Hi,
Your symptoms such as bloating, slow digestion, fast eating, belching, maybe you have functional dyspepsia, which is a functional disorder of the digestive tract (stomach). gastro-intestinal).
Symptoms of functional dyspepsia such as burning sensation, nausea, vomiting, belching, flatulence and feeling full soon at the beginning of a meal or discomfort after a meal. The common feature of these symptoms is that they often come and go, sometimes several days in a row, or occasionally a single episode. In particular, the expression will be worse after eating a hearty meal, eating too quickly or eating right before going to bed, or the patient is having stress, psychological disorders. At this time, the patient feels the pain originates from the upper abdomen, spreads to the middle of the chest, the area behind the sternum, into the neck or through the back, which is easy to confuse with the dangerous cardiovascular pain, requires Patients must be hospitalized for intervention.
Because there is no single and specific cause of functional dyspepsia, the patient should therefore perform all basic gastrointestinal investigations such as abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and Helicobacter test. pylori through breath, stool test, blood test; X-ray with oral barium and CT scan and the results were both proven negative.
Therefore, if the disease has only appeared for 3 weeks, you should see a specialist in Gastroenterology so that the doctor can examine and let you do some diagnostic tests.
If you still have questions about abdominal distension, bloating, shortness of breath and frequent belching, you can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide for further advice.
