Such a disease of the stomach, in which the inflammatory process that occurs in the mucosa, is associated with an increase in the acid level of the digestive enzyme, is called a hyperacid gastritis.
Symptoms and treatment of hyperacid gastritis
The main signs that make it possible to suspect the presence of just such a pathology in the digestive organ are a burning sensation in the esophagus( heartburn) that occurs immediately after a person ate something that has an irritating effect on the gastric mucosa, and aching pain that manifests after eating.
Among the additional manifestations that correspond to any type of gastritis, you can name the following:
- Sour belching;
- Attacks of nausea, often accompanied by vomiting;
- Persistent impairment of appetite( may either be completely absent, or be excessively elevated);
- Discomfort in the abdomen accompanied by flatulence;
- Tachycardia and low blood pressure;
- Irritability, nervous tension and sleep disturbance.
If any of these symptoms occur, you should immediately consult a doctor to confirm the presence or absence of a hyperacid gastritis with a special diagnostic test. This will allow to begin immediate treatment, which will include not only the medical method, but also the corresponding gastrointestinal diseases, as well as the reception of folk remedies intended to alleviate the unpleasant manifestations of the disease.
Chronic hyperacid gastritis
Depending on the duration of the course of the hyperacid type of the disease, it is possible to distinguish 2 of its forms: acute and chronic, in which there are constant changes in periods of exacerbation to the state of remission.
An important role in the course of hyperacid gastritis in the chronic type is played by the increased secretory activity of the mucosa that occurs over a long period of time.
Most often, this disease occurs in men, and at a fairly young age. This is because it is this category of patients that has a great propensity for some hyperacid gastritis-provoking factors.
Among them is the excessive use of hot drinks, coffee, a habit of smoking, failure to eat, as well as eating a lot of irritating mucus products and seasonings.
