Gastric spasm is a common gastrointestinal discomfort symptom, usually manifested as intense cramping pain in the stomach. The main symptoms include: 1. Abdominal pain: Severe pain occurs in the stomach, which may be intermittent or persistent, often accompanied by a feeling of pressure or colicky sensation. 2. Nausea and vomiting: Gastric spasms are often accompanied by nausea, and sometimes may lead to vomiting, characterized by the expulsion of stomach contents. 3. Bloating and discomfort: A significant feeling of bloating may occur in the stomach, accompanied by discomfort or a sensation of fullness. Gastric spasms may be caused by various factors, such as improper diet, emotional stress, and digestive system diseases. If symptoms are severe or persist for a prolonged period, it is recommended to seek medical attention for further examination to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
