What is the reason for suddenly feeling bitter in the mouth?

Bitter mouth is mostly due to poor gallbladder function, especially a reaction of patients with gallbladder diseases (cholecystitis, gallstones, etc.). ). There are still some people who have inflammation in the esophagus due to poor gastric motility, which will also cause bile to flow back into the stomach and cause bitter taste. On the other hand, some people have irregular lives, lack of sleep and rest, and people who snore, sleep with their mouths open and have oral inflammation are also prone to bitterness.

At the same time, some studies show that there is also a spiritual bitterness. Some people may feel bitter when they are nervous, angry, fidgety, anxious, fearful, uneasy and insomnia due to excessive work and study pressure. This should also attract attention.

Western medicine suggests:

1. Bitter taste should attract people's attention. If it happens for a long time or often, you should go to the hospital in time to find out the reason.

2. Have a regular life, maintain a good mental state, and properly adjust your emotions.

Chinese medicine: Bitter mouth is caused by damp heat, which often produces bitter mouth. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is mainly caused by damp heat, including damp heat in liver and gallbladder and stomach heat. Damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder and bitter taste may be caused by inflammation of the liver and gallbladder. Bitter mouth caused by stomach heat, some people have no inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, but eating too much spicy food can also cause bitter mouth because of unreasonable diet. At the same time, some people with chronic diseases (such as diabetes) will also have bitter taste.

On the other hand, many mental workers, due to heavy work pressure, improper diet, irregular diet, less activity and other characteristics, have slow gastrointestinal function, and the food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, which is easy to produce damp heat and bitterness.

Chinese medicine advice:

1. Patients with chronic diseases should be treated under the guidance of doctors for bitter taste caused by the etiology.

2. For people under great pressure, try to have a regular diet and a reasonable food structure, eat less spicy food and eat more fruits and vegetables.

3. Exercise properly to promote the normal operation of digestive function, especially for mental workers. Exercise should be strengthened and regular. When eating, try to think less about work.
