Analysis of the causes of stomach discomfort when waking up in the morning

The human stomach and intestines are an important part of the human digestive system. Problems with the stomach and intestines will affect the body's absorption of food nutrients, thereby affecting health. In addition to improper diet causing gastrointestinal diseases, people's emotions can also affect the stomach and intestines. People who are prone to anger generally do not have very good stomachs. Here are some reasons why you may feel stomach discomfort when you wake up in the morning.

The amount of gastric acid cannot be too much or too little, it must be controlled within a certain range. Otherwise, when there is too much gastric acid, symptoms such as "acid vomiting", "heartburn", and "stomach discomfort" will appear. In severe cases, it will reduce appetite and cause indigestion, and then cause various forms of stomach diseases such as gastric ulcers. When there is too little stomach acid, the digestive function will be reduced, leading to malnutrition, etc.

Excessive stomach acid

When there is too much stomach acid, can I take some sodium hydroxide to neutralize it? cannot! Because sodium hydroxide has a strong corrosive effect, it can seriously damage the esophagus, digestive tract, etc. when taken, causing adverse consequences. Doctors usually treat the condition with drugs such as "baking soda tablets" and "weishuping". The main ingredient of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, while the main ingredient of Weishuping is aluminum hydroxide. They can all produce ionic reactions with the acid in gastric juice, thereby neutralizing excess stomach acid. Excessive stomach acid not only puts a burden on the stomach, but also causes some diseases and affects other organs. For example, one of the speculated causes of esophageal cancer is excessive stomach acid, which causes acid reflux to damage the esophageal epithelial cells, thereby accelerating the occurrence and development of esophageal cancer.

Hypochlorhydria

When there is too little stomach acid, doctors can usually give patients an appropriate amount of yeast tablets to promote the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite; they can also take an appropriate amount of dilute hydrochloric acid (about 0.3%) to adjust the pH of gastric juice to a normal range and restore the normal digestive function of the stomach.

Pathological gastric acid

Excessive gastric acid will cause corrosive effects in the stomach, resulting in acid swallowing, nausea, and vomiting, and may even lead to serious consequences such as gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers, which cannot be ignored.

Symptoms of increased stomach acid are: heartburn, acid reflux, burning pain and discomfort, which can be relieved by eating less or taking alkaline drugs or acid-suppressing drugs. After an ulcer occurs, regular hunger pain and night pain may occur. Excessive gastric acid is common in duodenal ulcer, gastrinoma, chronic gastritis, reflux esophagitis, cholecystitis, etc.

The above is an analysis of the reasons why you feel uncomfortable in your stomach when you wake up in the morning. It is either caused by too much stomach acid or too little stomach acid, and it has a lot to do with stomach acid. If you often feel like vomiting due to stomach acid, you can drink an appropriate amount of soda water to neutralize the acid and alkali, which will help relieve the symptoms of stomach acid and vomiting.
