Question

I’ve been suffering from these symptoms for a year now. The symptoms include dry heaving, nausea, stomach pain, soreness in the stomach, and overall weakness. The pain also extends to my elbows and knees. I have been experiencing chronic insomnia and have recently developed mild anorexia.

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your symptoms may be caused by gastritis, which typically results in stomach pain, bloating, acid regurgitation, belching, hiccups, and other discomforts. In most cases of gastric cancer, it is discovered when it is already in the late stage. It is recommended that you undergo a gastroscopy at the hospital regardless of the disease. Additionally, considering the possibility of spleen deficiency, you can try taking Jianpi Wan and 21 Jin Wei Ta for treatment. Wishing you good health.
