The common causes of stomach burning after drinking alcohol are acute gastric mucosal injury, reflux esophagitis, and the main ways to relieve it are improving lifestyle, omeprazole, domperidone and other medications.
1. Acute gastric mucosal injury: large amounts of alcohol consumption can cause acute gastric mucosal lesions, resulting in damage to the gastric mucosa, manifested as bloating, acid reflux, heartburn. First of all, we should improve the lifestyle, such as avoiding drinking alcohol, staying up late and avoiding spicy and stimulating food. Medications that can relieve symptoms include omeprazole and cimetidine. Mucosal protectants that neutralize gastric acid such as magnesium aluminum carbonate can also be chosen.
2. Reflux esophagitis: Drinking alcohol can lead to relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, aggravating the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, with obvious acid reflux, heartburn and retrosternal discomfort. The main treatments are pro-gastrointestinal dynamics drugs mosapride and domperidone, acid-suppressing drugs esomeprazole, rabeprazole, cimetidine and so on.
Patients should try to avoid drinking alcohol again, and if the stomach discomfort persists, they should go to the hospital immediately to improve the relevant examination. The above treatment drugs should be taken after consulting a regular doctor.
