What are the symptoms of gastrocardiac syndrome

In daily life, due to many reasons, we may have irregular work and rest schedules, and we may not eat on time. Sometimes we may eat a lot of greasy and irritating food, which may cause damage to the stomach in the long run. There are many kinds of stomach diseases, all caused by different reasons. Gastrocardiac syndrome generally occurs in young people. There are many reasons for gastrocardiac syndrome and the symptoms are also relatively obvious.

What are the symptoms of gastrocardiac syndrome

1. Heart examination usually shows no abnormalities.

Electrocardiogram examination is usually normal, with ST-T changes, arrhythmia, and arrhythmia in a few cases, which may occasionally be misdiagnosed as angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction. Cardiovascular system symptoms appear on the basis of chronic gastritis, and this disease can be diagnosed after organic cardiovascular lesions are excluded.

2. Sometimes gastric symptoms are not obvious in the medical history, and the patient only presents with cardiovascular symptoms, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis. Therefore, we should improve our understanding of gastrocardiac syndrome. If it is difficult to explain by cardiovascular disease, relevant gastrointestinal examinations such as X-ray, gastroscopy, etc. should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Due to the existence of gastric diseases, reflex discomfort or dull pain in the precordial area is caused. A few cases are similar to angina pectoris, with needle-like or squeezing pain. The duration can be long or short, ranging from a few seconds to several hours. However, the pain usually has no obvious cause. The use of coronary dilating drugs is ineffective, but the use of antispasmodic and acid-relieving drugs can provide relief.

Gastrocardiac syndrome diet

1. Eat less raw, cold and irritating foods: Raw, cold and irritating foods have a strong irritating effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa, and can easily cause diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation.

2. Eat less fried food: Because this type of food is not easy to digest and will increase the burden on the digestive tract, eating too much will cause indigestion and increase blood lipids, which is not good for health.

3. Eat less pickled foods: These foods contain more salt and certain carcinogens, so they should not be eaten too much.

Gastrocardiac syndrome prevention

The prevention of this disease is mainly the prevention of stomach diseases. You should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and actively engage in physical exercise.

First, eat at regular times and in regular amounts.

Gastric acid secretion has a certain regularity, that is, the secretion peaks during the three meals a day. Frequent eating of snacks will disrupt the working of the stomach and destroy the normal rhythm of gastric acid secretion, which can lead to stomach problems over time. Therefore, daily diet should be three meals a day, and do not eat too many snacks. The amount of food you eat at each meal should be moderate. Being too hungry or too full, or eating unevenly when hungry or full, will cause the stomach to function abnormally and cause indigestion. Therefore, you should develop a good habit of eating at regular times.

Second, advocate quitting smoking and drinking in moderation.

If you already have digestive system diseases, you should quit smoking and drinking immediately. Smoking can cause the gastric blood vessels to constrict, reducing the blood supply to the stomach, while inhibiting the secretion of gastric mucus and aggravating the damage to the gastric mucosa. Drinking a moderate amount of low-alcohol liquor can increase the blood flow to the gastric blood vessels, causing congestion, edema, erosion, and even bleeding of the gastric mucosa. Therefore, you can drink a moderate amount of low-alcohol liquor such as rice wine, beer, and wine.

Third, pay attention to food hygiene.

Be careful about “diseases entering the body through the mouth” and wash your hands after going to the toilet and before eating. Rinse fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating them raw. Avoid food contamination with pathogenic bacteria. Do not eat spoiled or moldy food.
