Stress Gastritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Stress gastritis is an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the stomach associated with periods of intense emotional or physical tension. The discomfort may appear or worsen during times of high pressure.
Common symptoms: burning or pain in the pit of the stomach, a feeling of fullness, nausea, and discomfort that may change with meals.
Contributing factors: sustained stress, irregular eating habits, and certain everyday routines.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who studies this condition, and support from a psychologist or a nutritionist can add value when stress and diet play a role. If the discomfort persists, it is best to discuss it with a professional rather than normalizing it.
