What to do if your stomach hurts when you eat too fast

Many people eat very fast and it is difficult to correct their eating speed. In this case, most people suffer from stomach pain. As for the problem of stomach pain caused by eating too fast, it can be relieved through massage. Of course, slowing down your eating pace is also important.

1. Massage Neiguan

The Neiguan point is located in the middle of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers (the width of three fingers put together) away from the transverse wrist crease, and is located between the two tendons. Use your thumbs to massage and circle the area 36 times, alternating between your hands. When pain occurs, increase the number to 200 times.

2. Press Zusanli

The Zusanli point is located three inches below the edge of the knee (equivalent to the width of four fingers put together), between the tibia and fibula. Press the Zusanli point with the tips of your thumbs, 36 times at normal times. When it hurts, you can rub it about 200 times, with a slightly heavier pressure.

3. Press the abdomen

Cross your hands, with the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom for men; the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom for women. With the navel as the center, rub the abdomen to draw the Tai Chi diagram, 36 circles clockwise and 36 circles counterclockwise. This method can relieve pain and bloating and increase appetite.

4. Go to hospital in serious cases

If the stomach pain symptoms persist for a long time after eating too much, or even in severe cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital. Symptoms of overeating may include abdominal bloating, nausea, and local pain. In the process of overeating, gastric perforation may occur, which may be confused with the above symptoms, and it is easy to delay the disease. Therefore, if the symptoms of abdominal bloating and pain are not relieved, or even worsen, and other methods of promoting digestion are ineffective, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
