The therapist mentioned possible causes of stomach pain after eating

Stomach pain after eating can occur not only due to problems with the gastrointestinal tract, but also with pneumonia or myocardial infarction. About it on March 17, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Irina Volgina, Associate Professor of the Department of Therapy at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education.

"Pain in the upper abdomen can be associated with pneumonia and even myocardial infarction. If the pain appears suddenly and increases, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Abdominal pain may be associated with gastritis, functional dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, and stomach cancer," said Volgina.

According to Volgina, it is also necessary to seek medical help in case of heartburn, belching, nausea, vomiting, bloating, upset stools and other symptoms.

"You should not self-medicate, as well as resort to folk remedies or advice from friends. Doctors rely on medical standards, clinical recommendations and the results of clinical trials, are responsible for their work and select therapy based on a specific clinical situation. Traditional medicine or the advice of others can often be harmful," the expert concluded.
