Q The hospital only told me it was "nerves." If nothing shows on tests, does that mean I am just being sensitive?
A A symptom does not disappear because tests cannot see it. This is not oversensitivity — current tests look at injury to the lining, while your discomfort lies in movement. The cause simply sits elsewhere, and there are clear ways to manage it.
Detailed Answer
"No abnormality" means no dangerous disease, not that the discomfort is gone. In fact, serious causes have now been ruled out, so from here we can examine why the stomach cannot work at its own pace. At this stage, everyday conditions such as how you eat, how tense you are, and how you sleep strongly influence the symptoms.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Our examination begins not with test numbers but with pressing the abdomen directly and reading the pulse to see how stiff the area below the breastbone is and where the flow is blocked. This is exactly the point at which most people who were told "nothing is wrong" come to us.
