What are the symptoms of carditis?
Disease description:
I have recently been experiencing chest pain and acid reflux, and I'm wondering if I might have developed贲门炎 (inflammation of the cardia). Could you please tell me what the symptoms of贲门炎 are?

The symptoms of carditis are diverse, and mainly include:
1. Upper abdominal pain: Patients often experience pain in the upper abdomen, which may be persistent, sharp, or dull, and may worsen during meals.
2. Heartburn: A sensation similar to acid reflux or acid erosion, which is one of the typical symptoms of carditis.
3. Loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting: These symptoms are usually caused by upper abdominal pain, heartburn, or nausea. A feeling of vomiting, especially after eating, may occur and is related to acid reflux into the esophagus.
4. Gastric bloating and a feeling of fullness: Delayed gastric emptying caused by carditis may lead to gas accumulation and a sensation of bloating.
