Why do I feel like my stomach is being pushed up when I sit?
The sensation of stomach pressure while sitting is generally caused by poor digestion of food. It could be due to overeating or poor gastric motility. To alleviate this, it is recommended to reduce food intake, eat less, engage in proper exercise after meals, and take medications that increase gastric motility. Additionally, gentle massage of the stomach area can also help. When eating, chew your food slowly and avoid eating too quickly, which can contribute to improved symptoms.
When sitting and feeling pressure in the stomach, the first consideration is the symptom of gastric distension. It could also be due to slow gastrointestinal motility and poor digestion caused by gastrointestinal diseases, manifesting as gastric spasms, poor appetite, and other symptoms. Under a doctor's guidance, antispasmodic medications can be chosen. Additionally, if gastric motility is insufficient, medications that promote gastric motility can be taken. For functional indigestion, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment, and a gastroscopy should be performed promptly.
To alleviate the sensation of stomach pressure while sitting, you can visit a hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice to take clarithromycin dispersible tablets and antispasmodic analgesic medications. If it is caused by chronic gastritis, it is recommended to take rabeprazole for medication treatment, which can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for better results. Maintain regular eating habits and avoid overeating.
