作息 should be "作息" or "rest and work patterns"), long-term smoking, and alcohol consumption may also cause excessive gastric acid secretion.
3. Medication factors: certain medications, such as aspirin and indomethacin, can irritate or damage the gastric mucosa, leading to dysregulation of gastric acid secretion.
4. Psychological factors: when experiencing mental stress, excessive fatigue, or negative emotions, dysfunction of the cerebral cortex may occur, impairing the regulation of gastric acid secretion via the nervous system, thus leading to increased acid production.
5. Disease-related factors: endocrine disorders such as gastrinoma and hyperplasia of gastric antrum G cells can cause abnormal increases in gastric acid secretion.
Patients are advised to adjust their diet, avoid irritant foods, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and, when necessary, use anti-acid medications under the guidance of a physician.
