Why Does Stress Cause Stomach Pain?
If stress is high, causing the body's nerves to be affected, it may lead to excessive gastric juice and gastric acid secretion, causing gastric pain. If stress affects life and diet, it may also cause gastric pain. Details are as follows:
1. Gastric juice secretion is influenced by neural factors. When mental stress is high, the body secretes a large amount of gastric acid, which may lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, causing symptoms such as heartburn and gastric pain.
2. If the body is under excessive pressure, it may lead to autonomic nervous dysfunction, resulting in excessive gastric acid secretion or affecting the normal motility function of the stomach, causing gastric pain symptoms.
3. Excessive stress may lead to sleep disorders, affecting daily routines or causing dietary issues such as consuming spicy and irritating foods, overeating, etc. These factors may all contribute to gastric pain symptoms.
Therefore, it is recommended for patients to relax, eat less spicy and irritating foods, avoid overeating, and if unable to adjust excessive stress, they can consult a psychological clinic. Medications such as Omeprazole, Rabeprazole, and Famotidine can be prescribed to improve gastric pain symptoms.
