Stomach Inflammation
Stomach inflammation can be the result of several medical conditions and is also a common symptom of MCTD. Stomach inflammation may also be referred to as gastritis, the general term for a group of conditions relating to inflammation of the stomach lining.
Individuals with gastritis may feel nauseous and experience abdominal pain. More severe cases could result in chest pains and shortness of breath. Other causes of gastritis can include excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and the routine use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen.
