Q What should I prepare before a Damjeok consultation?
A Noting when bloating is worst, which foods or situations make it worse, any medications you're taking, and bringing any recent test results will make your consultation faster and more accurate.
Detailed Answer
It helps greatly to note when the symptoms started, what time of day the epigastric fullness worsens, and which foods or situations aggravate it. If you're currently taking any medications and have recent endoscopy or other test results, bring those along for a more accurate consultation.
