Feeling blood in chest

Sometimes, we often feel chest tightness and feel like we can’t breathe. Sometimes I even feel like the blood in my chest is boiling. In fact, when this happens, the most likely cause is gastroesophageal reflux disease or some heart disease. No matter what disease causes it, everyone should pay attention to it, because if it is not treated in time, the condition will worsen and harm your own body.

The reason for this situation

1. The symptoms of pharyngitis accompanied by esophagitis are mainly related to factors such as diet, lifestyle habits, and personal constitution.

Suggestions: In this case, it is recommended that you take some drugs such as Metoclopramide tablets, Huasu tablets and Omeprazole capsules first. If there is no improvement, you should go to the hospital for a check-up first. Furthermore, in the near future, you should avoid eating spicy and sour foods, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, eat less fried foods, and keep a happy mood.

2. There may be gastroesophageal reflux disease or myocardial insufficiency

This situation is related to emotional tension, excessive fatigue, and deficiency of qi and blood. In this case, it is best to do chest X-rays, electrocardiograms, and barium meal angiography regularly. The cause should be identified and symptomatic treatment should be given after diagnosis. Comprehensive treatments such as acupuncture, exercise, and medicated baths can be chosen. Soaking your hands and feet in hot water before going to bed can promote blood circulation.

Suggestions: Pay attention to rest, keep warm, sleep on a hard bed, drink plenty of hot water, eat a balanced diet, have a regular work and rest schedule, relax, supplement vitamins, trace elements and calcium, avoid spicy and cold foods, exercise appropriately, get more sun, eat mainly warm porridge, soft and easily digestible foods, improve immunity, stay away from noisy environments and the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, and maintain a good attitude.

3. Chronic gastritis causes

Chronic gastritis belongs to the category of old stomach diseases. Damp-heat in the spleen and stomach prevents clear air from rising and turbid air from descending. The upward flow of turbid air causes bloating, hiccups, indigestion, acid reflux and other uncomfortable symptoms. Conventional treatment can only relieve symptoms, but not treat the root cause and cannot cure it.

Opinion and suggestions: Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated a lot of unique treatment methods in long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you use black alum, black dates, walnut kernels, gardenia, angelica, amomum, magnolia bark, triangularis, pangolin, cunqu, malt, upper carapace, lower carapace, safflower, Hainan agarwood, iron gall powder, propolis, honey, beeswax, etc. for treatment. The effect is fast and the efficacy is definite. The combination of these medicines can clear away dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, enhance gastrointestinal function, promote gastrointestinal motility, quickly repair gastric mucosa, and cleanse gastrointestinal turbidity, thereby achieving the purpose of healing.

Chronic gastritis examination items

1. Gastric juice analysis

Determining the basal gastric secretion (BAO) and the maximum acid secretion (MAO) and peak acid secretion (PAO) after the histamine test or pentagastrin test to determine the gastric acid secretion function is helpful for the diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis and to guide clinical treatment. In chronic superficial gastritis, gastric acid is usually normal, while in extensive and severe chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric acid is decreased.

2. Serological testing

In chronic atrophic gastritis, serum gastrin is often moderately elevated because lack of gastric acid cannot inhibit G cell secretion. If the lesion is severe, not only the secretion of gastric acid and pepsinogen will decrease, but also the secretion of intrinsic factor will decrease, thereby affecting the decrease of vitamin B12; serum PCA is often positive (more than 75%).

3. Gastrointestinal X-ray barium meal examination

With the development of digestive endoscopy technology, upper gastrointestinal tract radiography is rarely used in the diagnosis of gastritis. When using double contrast imaging with barium gastrointestinal irradiation to display the fine structure of the gastric mucosa, atrophic gastritis may show that the gastric mucosal folds are relatively flat and reduced.

4. Gastroscopy and biopsy

Gastroscopy and pathological biopsy are the main methods for diagnosing chronic gastritis. Superficial gastritis is often most obvious in the gastric antrum, and is often characterized by a diffuse increase in mucus on the surface of the gastric mucosa, with grayish white or yellowish white exudates. The mucosa at the lesion site is red and white or mottled, resembling measles-like changes, and sometimes with erosion. The mucosa of chronic atrophic gastritis is mostly pale or grayish white, or may be red and white, with the white areas sunken; the wrinkles become thinner or flat, and due to the thinning of the mucosa, purple-blue submucosal blood vessels can be seen; the lesions may be diffuse or mainly in the gastric antrum. If accompanied by proliferative changes, the mucosal surface may be granular or nodular.

The biopsy specimens were examined pathologically to determine chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia. A rapid urease test on biopsy tissue may be performed.
