Dr. Shen Yonghua
The symptoms of chronic gastritis with disharmony between the liver and stomach mainly include: 1. Gastrointestinal discomfort: Stomach pain, mostly located in the upper abdomen, possibly accompanied by cramping; fullness and distention in the epigastric region, poor appetite, and epigastric discomfort. 2. Vomiting and hiccups: Disharmony between the liver and stomach may cause vomiting, often accompanied by nausea, with vomitus possibly containing undigested food or acidic fluid; hiccups may also occur frequently. 3. Association between emotions and digestion: Chest tightness with a tendency to sigh, frequent belching, and symptom exacerbation often related to emotional factors. 4. Oral abnormalities: Bitter taste in the mouth, particularly evident upon waking in the morning, possibly related to increased bile secretion. 5. Bowel dysfunction: Constipation or unsatisfactory bowel movements, possibly due to impaired gastrointestinal motility.
