Question:
Dear Doctor,
I have been diagnosed with gastritis, experiencing bloating but minimal pain. However, I often feel excessively hungry. Despite eating three meals daily, I now eat 6–8 times a day due to gastritis. When hungry, I feel weak, tremble, and notice a faster pulse in my stomach. Could you advise me on managing these symptoms? Thank you.

Dear,
In response to your query about managing gastritis with bloating and excessive hunger, the doctor offers the following insights:
Based on your description, you likely have gastritis. However, gastritis alone does not typically cause increased hunger. The trembling and rapid pulse you experience when hungry might indicate hypoglycemia. It is unclear if you have additional symptoms such as frequent urination or weight loss, which could provide further clues about your condition..
I recommend visiting a hospital promptly for a comprehensive evaluation, including blood tests, abdominal ultrasound, and endoscopy. This will help identify the cause, severity, and appropriate treatment for your condition.
Vinmec hospital system offers highly skilled gastroenterologists, strict procedures, modern equipment, and updated medical protocols to ensure personalized and effective care. Additionally, our doctors will provide continuous support throughout the outpatient treatment process until full recovery.
For further examination and consultation, you can visit any facility in the Vinmec Health System. Thank you for trusting us with your concerns. Wishing you good health.
Best regards.
