Eating quickly causes harm
Experts claim that stomach distention occurs when food is not chewed properly, resulting in large pieces that go to the organ responsible for digestion. This behavior can be dangerous in the long run and can lead to various illnesses.
People who eat fast are at risk of choking, kidney damage, acute pancreatitis, gastroparesis, aspiration pneumonia, morbid obesity, gastric perforation, Boerhaave syndrome and even death.
In the case of the man who ate more than he should have, he was admitted to Singapore, but his condition was relatively stable compared to the risks he might face at that time. He developed acute pancreatitis and kidney damage, as the doctors noted.
The symptoms presented by the patient were vomiting and acute malaise, in addition to abdominal swelling and tension. In the complete blood test, the man presented a worrying result, but the CT scan result was able to identify the mass that was clogging his stomach.
The mass of food was large and consistent enough to crush nearby organs. Doctors had to perform a stomach pump to solve the problem, but it wasn't enough. Therefore, it was considered to submit the patient to surgery to remove the mass, however, he managed to release flatulence, which was a positive sign.
After 5 days in the hospital, the man was released from the hospital.
