[Digestive System] If You Experience Recurring Nausea and Gagging, Check Your Autonomic Nervous System as Well

• Repeated feelings of nausea and retching do not necessarily indicate an autonomic nervous system disorder.
• Causes vary widely and may include gastroenteritis, reflux esophagitis, medication side effects, migraines, pregnancy, and ear disorders. If you experience weight loss, repeated vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain, dehydration, or new neurological symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential.
• Some people experience an upset stomach when they wake up in the morning, feel the urge to retch before important events, and postpone meals because even a small amount of food makes them feel nauseous.

[Endometrial Adhesions] If Your Menstrual Flow Has Decreased and You’re Having Trouble Getting Pregnant, Here’s What to Check First

• Endometrial adhesions refer to a condition in which the inner walls of the uterus stick together, which can affect the shape of the uterine cavity or the flow of menstrual blood.
• If your menstrual flow has noticeably decreased or stopped following a D&C after a miscarriage, uterine surgery, or an intrauterine infection, or if you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an OB/GYN to determine whether an evaluation of the uterine cavity is necessary.
• It can be concerning if your menstrual flow decreases significantly compared to before after a miscarriage or childbirth, or if you experience lower abdominal pain around your expected period but have almost no bleeding.

[Autonomic Nervous System] If Your Test Results Are Normal but You Still Feel Dizzy, You Need to Examine Your Autonomic Nervous System Function as Well

• Ulsan You may want to seek consultation for autonomic nervous system-related dizziness if you experience a foggy head, a spinning sensation when standing up, and recurring symptoms such as heart palpitations, cold sweats, anxiety, and fatigue—even though medical tests have shown no significant abnormalities.
• However, sudden severe dizziness, paralysis, slurred speech, chest pain, fainting, or severe headaches require immediate medical attention.
• Dizziness is a truly uncomfortable symptom.

If You Keep Feeling Full and Can’t Stop Burping, Ulsan Digestive Patterns Associated with Damp-Damp Disease

• Ulsan You should seek consultation for “Damjeok” even if your endoscopy results are normal—especially if you experience recurring symptoms such as bloating after meals, frequent feelings of fullness, belching, nausea, or a sensation of something stuck in your throat, to the point where eating becomes uncomfortable.
• Phrases such as “I feel bloated even though I didn’t eat much,” “I keep burping,” and “It feels like something is stuck in my throat” are commonly heard during consultations for damjeok disease at Ulsan.
• While my previous post on “Damjeok” focused more on the “feeling of a tight blockage in the epigastrium,” this post focuses on patterns of bloating, belching, and post-meal discomfort.

[Irritable Bowel Syndrome] If you experience recurring abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation, you should have both irritable bowel syndrome and your autonomic nervous system evaluated.

• Ulsan When consulting on irritable bowel syndrome, it is important not to view abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation in isolation, but to assess them in conjunction with diet, anxiety, sleep, stress, and bowel movement patterns.
• Even if medical tests show no major abnormalities, if you frequently experience abdominal pain and feel anxious about going out because of bathroom needs, it may be a sign that both your gut and your autonomic nervous system have become hypersensitive.
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that often leads patients to ask, “Why does my stomach feel so uncomfortable when the test results say everything is fine?”
