Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am struggling with indigestion and feel something heavy in my upper stomach. I am not feeling hungry and am eating less diet that includes rice water and khichdi (porridge). I visited a doctor who prescribed Robidoc, Aciloc, and Livonic syrup. But I have had no improvement; instead, I had vomiting after having food and taking the Robidoc medicine. I still feel something heavy in my upper stomach region, and this problem is from the last nine days. Also, I have a history of naval displacement. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Indigestion may cause weakness, heaviness, acidity, and gaseous trouble. There is a need to improve your digestive fire. It requires some precautions and physical activities. You should go through the following home remedies.

Treatment plan

Take five pieces of black pepper and a half teaspoon of crushed ginger. Boil it in 1.5 fl oz of water. You can add a pinch of rock salt. Drink thrice a day and have it before food. It helps to improve your appetite.

Preventive measures

Avoid spicy, oily, and fried junk foods. Drink lukewarm water always. Eat whenever you are hungry. Do regular exercise, kapalbhati, and pranayam like anulom vilom, nadi shodhan, and bhramari.

Regarding follow up

Follow the above instructions and provide your valuable feedback after three days.
