Why do I feel sick and nauseous with an empty stomach?

If you usually feel an empty stomach, feel very uncomfortable, and have symptoms such as nausea, you should pay attention to it. It may be caused by gastritis. Especially if such symptoms occur frequently, the more common cause is chronic gastritis, which is quite harmful to patients. If you do not pay attention to timely treatment and good diet, it will often cause more serious symptoms, and may even cause gastric bleeding, gastric ulcers, erosive gastritis, etc., and may even induce cancer. Therefore, when such symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and then receive symptomatic treatment.

The harm of chronic gastritis 1: gastric bleeding. Bleeding from chronic gastritis is not uncommon: 1. The mucosa atrophies and becomes thinner, blood vessels are exposed, rough food rubs, and the mucosa erodes and bleeds. The main manifestation is black stools. If the amount of bleeding is large, you may suddenly vomit blood. In severe cases, you may experience dizziness, palpitations, dark sleep, sweating, and even shock.

The second harm of chronic gastritis: gastric ulcer. Gastric ulcer coexists with superficial gastritis and erosive gastritis. There is obvious inflammatory stimulation, gastric mucosa atrophy and thinning, and complications such as erosion and ulcer. Gastroscopy should be performed in time to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment.

The third harm of chronic gastritis: anemia. Chronic gastritis is accompanied by two types of anemia after massive blood loss: 1. Megaloblastic anemia, also known as pernicious anemia. The patient has symptoms of anemia: dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, and pale complexion. 2. Iron deficiency anemia. One is caused by chronic blood loss; the second is that patients with chronic gastritis eat less and have insufficient nutrition; the third is lack of gastric acid.

The fourth harm of chronic gastritis: early stage of gastric cancer. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, in areas with a high incidence of gastric cancer, after 10-20 years of follow-up, the average incidence of gastric cancer is 10%. Their development pattern is: superficial gastritis-chronic gastritis-intestinal metaplasia or atypical hyperplasia-gastric cancer. The carcinogenesis of chronic gastritis is closely related to gastric inflammatory hyperplasia. There are two situations in which chronic gastritis is prone to cancer: 1. Chronic gastritis accompanied by pernicious anemia, the incidence of cancer is more than 20 times higher than other gastrointestinal diseases, which should be taken seriously by patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
