Are you frustrated that

Stomach is bloating?

or

Feeling like a heartbeat on your abdomen?

Epigastric pain and abdominal discomfort are common symptoms of reflux esophagitis and gastritis. Symptoms of each area in abdomen are characteristic. Please see the picture below.

Pain or discomfort is the most common in areas 1, 2 and 3. You can feel stiffness the under the left rib with the postprandial stuffiness. If the first area is stiff, it is difficult for the food to pass over from the esophagus to stomach. If you feel sick here, you often get insomnia, and it takes a long time to get to sleep at night and have a broken sleep.

If the areas 2 and 3 are stiff, it means that the food is not decomposed and stagnated at the center or exit of the stomach. You feel bloated and your appetite fails. In some cases, the area 3 contracts repeatedly as if the heart is beating. It often occurs in anxious and nervous people.

Abdominal fullness appears frequently in area 4. You still feel bloated after dumping your load when you feels like the flesh of other person. Area 4 also tends to beat like a heartbeat if abdominal distension is severe.

If you want strong stomach,

Heart and lungs should be strong

The heart and lungs are the pivotal organs of systemic blood circulation. The heart is responsible for the arterial circulation and supplies fresh oxygen and nutrients to the cells or tissues through the blood. The lungs are responsible for the venous circulation and transfer waste and carbon dioxide from cells and tissues into the blood and send them back to the heart. In this process, the carbon dioxide is replaced with fresh oxygen and waste products are discharged from the body. The blood from the heart is important, but the blood that returns to the heart is also important.

If the heart and lungs are strong, the gastrointestinal motility, the ability to absorb and dissolve and the physical strength will also be improved.

Even if you do not have any abnormality on ECG, CT or ultrasound, if you have a weak pulse, your heart will not be able to supply enough blood to your hands and feet as well as your stomach, You can be skittish to feel your heart thump and feel numbness in hands and feet and lose concentration. When the heart and lungs are strong, the mind is relaxed and the anxiety and tension are relieved, so the symptoms of insomnia, depression and panic disorder are alleviated, and it also helps to prevent varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
