Will gastrointestinal cold cause dizziness and chest tightness?

Time flies, and it's time for the season to change again. Many people with weak immunity are likely to catch a cold when the seasons change. When the weather turns cold, the cold air irritates the stomach and intestines, making people more susceptible to stomach colds. Stomach cold is a very serious cold. People with stomach cold are prone to vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue and many other symptoms. So will gastrointestinal cold cause dizziness and chest tightness?

Gastrointestinal cold can cause dizziness and chest tightness. Gastrointestinal cold is mainly caused by a virus called "Kesaki", accompanied by mixed bacterial infection. Gastrointestinal cold is also known as "vomiting upper respiratory tract infection" in medicine. Its main symptoms are: stomach bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, multiple bowel movements a day, feeling weak, and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and damage to the immune system. If you use antidiarrhea drugs for treatment, it will not only fail to relieve the symptoms of gastrointestinal cold, but will also delay the disease.

The main causes of gastrointestinal colds come from external stimuli and other factors, and they occur more frequently when the weather changes from cold to warm. This is due to the irritation of the stomach and intestines by cold air, coupled with abnormal living habits and poor diet. Right now, the weather is cold, and many people like to drink cold drinks while eating hot pot. These greasy, spicy, and hot and cold foods will irritate the intestinal mucosa and cause gastrointestinal spasms. However, doctors pointed out that gastrointestinal cold and gastroenteritis are different. The main difference is that patients with acute gastroenteritis often have a history of unclean food, nausea and vomiting are more severe, and the vomitus often has a pungent odor, but generally do not have fever symptoms. Many people often mistakenly treat gastrointestinal cold as acute gastroenteritis at the beginning of its onset.

Preventing gastrointestinal colds is actually very simple: drink plenty of water, preferably not refrigerated drinks; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables; eat more easily digestible foods; ensure that the room you live in is well ventilated, and avoid crowded public places. Medical experts advise patients with gastrointestinal colds that "colds are afraid of entering the internal organs." If the virus affects organs such as the liver and kidneys, it will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. If the virus invades the heart and brain, it will lead to other diseases such as viral myocarditis and viral encephalitis. Therefore, when symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delayed treatment and other complications.
