A.

This is a sign of smooth muscle spasm near the entrance of the stomach. Relaxing the contracted muscles and applying warmth will quickly alleviate it.

📝 Detailed Answer

명치가 돌처럼 딱딱한 것은 적취(積聚) 현상으로, 위장 근육이 심하게 긴장되어 뭉친 상태입니다.

  • 동반 증상: 가슴 두근거림, 불안감, 호흡 답답함
  • 악화 요인: 스트레스, 과식, 늦은 식사
⚠️ 방치 시 위험

소화력 저하는 물론 자율신경 실조까지 유발할 수 있습니다. 심부 온열 요법으로 뭉친 근육을 풀어야 합니다.
