What are the symptoms of gastric autonomic nervous system dysfunction

The human stomach and intestines contain multiple nervous systems. Gastric autonomic dysfunction is a common problem. In severe cases, it is a problem of gastrointestinal function nerve control and food nerve disorders. They are all caused by external and mental factors, such as poor psychological quality, long-term mental stress, excessive thinking, and excessive entanglement with some things. This will cause people to have gastrointestinal discomfort, usually manifested as loss of appetite, hiccups, bloating and bad breath. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose in time and improve gastrointestinal function diseases through reasonable treatment principles.

Mainly manifested by autonomic dysfunction

It leads to gastrointestinal secretion and motility disorders, often accompanied by symptoms of systemic neurosis such as stomach pain (dull pain in the stomach area), belching, abdominal distension, bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, poor appetite, insomnia, loose or dry stools, frequent farts, lack of energy, palpitations, chest tightness, forgetfulness, headache and even weight loss. It should be noted that "not all patients have all the symptoms, some patients only have one or several of them."

Many patients with stomach problems have had this experience: anger, tension, and anxiety will aggravate the discomfort symptoms in the stomach. This is because these negative emotions can cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction in the stomach, making the gastric smooth muscle tense, affecting gastric peristalsis, and causing excessive secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, which can damage the gastric mucosa. Therefore, patients will feel very uncomfortable in their stomach.

The reason why many patients with stomach problems cannot be cured for a long time is that they also have gastric autonomic nervous system dysfunction. As long as the gastric autonomic nervous system dysfunction is cured, other stomach problems will naturally recover. If patients with stomach problems feel not only stomach discomfort, but also poor sleep and mental state, then nine out of ten times it can be judged that they suffer from gastric autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

It should be noted that gastric autonomic nervous system disorder (i.e. gastric neurosis) is a functional disease. No abnormalities can be found in instrumental examinations (normal gastroscopy). These are the two 100%s I have summarized: 1. "100% of the examinations are normal, 2. 100% of the pain all over the body."

Treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation, medication and acupuncture treatment using methods such as soothing the liver and relieving depression, soothing the liver and harmonizing the stomach, soothing the liver and regulating qi, soothing the liver and unblocking the meridians, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the heart, calming and tranquilizing the mind, nourishing yin and clearing away heat, and strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach.
