To date, many factors can provoke the emergence of problems with the digestive system. The most common is indigestion, one of the manifestations of which is a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. At the same time the stomach does not cope with the task entrusted to it in time, and the food in it is delayed. Especially often, heavy weight in the stomach can bother after a plentiful meal with a predominance of fatty, fried, rough food. This condition is also called "lazy stomach syndrome."
Until the end, the causes that cause this syndrome have not been studied. It is believed that the feeling of a feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating can cause the following factors:
- binge eating;
- fast food "on the go";
- heavy, fatty, fried foods, incompatibility of products;
- smoking, alcohol;
- fast food, carbonated drinks;
- chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- stress and experience.
In the morning, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach may be the result of a late dinner. The stomach does not have time to cope with the food eaten before sleep, and in the sleep the processes of digestion and peristalsis, as well as all other processes in the body slow down. As a result, a person wakes up broken, with a headache and heaviness in the stomach, including a strong one.
During wakefulness, peristalsis can be slowed down due to a violation of the central and local regulation of the motor activity of the muscular wall of the intestine, the work of the sphincter in the place where the stomach passes into the intestine, because of cicatricial changes in the duodenum after ulcers, acidity, etc.
The feeling of a feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating can be accompanied by a belching eaten food or air, a person can say that it is hard for him to breathe, he is sick. In severe cases, vomiting may occur. If it repeats constantly, then the person loses weight, because the food is practically not digested.
