Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2015

Question: Dear Doctor, I am getting head ache / heart burn, with highly sour belches. This is accompanied by little numbness & pull on the right side of the head. I presume this is due to acidity. Please suggest remedies. Thank you very much! XXXX

Brief Answer:
Take acid reducing agents for week.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Headache is noted along with acidity.

I assume you might have previously used pain killers to address headache, these medications are capable of causing stomach trouble.
Stress is known to have a physiological effect on the body of an individual. This is known to raise problems like acidity and headaches. If you are stressed, meditation or exercise ( yoga ), massage may be helpful.

I would have treated with capsule omez 20 mg taken daily for 2 to 3 weeks, these are acid reducing agents. Apart from the medication I would have advised you not to eat spicy food, avoid smoking and alcohol and also avoid coffee and would have called you after 10 days for assessment.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,

Dear Doctor, thanks for your advice.

I shall try omez 20mg (once a day) for a week. My stomach is very very sensitive. I must have probably eaten oily food during the last few days. I have been doing yoga and breathing exercise for some time now. I shall continue the same. I am not sure if excessive breathing exercise would also be a cause for "more bile generation (pitta)", as I had increased the frequency and rate of this exercise.

Thanks again!

Brief Answer:
Mild exercise and avoid spicy, oily food.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good to hear from you. It is nice that you have found something useful.
I would have asked you to continue with the mod exercise. To my knowledge breathing exercises does not have a bad impact on acidity. I would have suggested to do both.
Do avoid oily and spicy food, continue the medication. You should be fine.

Breathing exercises if done properly are known to balance the vata pita and kapha. It is to be done once a day.

Hope i have cleared your queries. You can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.

Dear Doctor,

Thanks for the follow up advice. Last night, I had severe acidity repulsion in the night. I had induced the vomit of acidity as I was feeling very uncomfortable. I threw up a lot of very very sour sticky liquid (only sticky liquid & no food). This happens to me once in a while, when I induce throwing up intentionally. I feel comfortable after this. Why is this due to? Will Omez 20mg reduce this problem?

I will close the discussion after your next response.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Brief Answer:
Omez will be helpful and advice not to induce vomiting.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good to hear from you.

I advice you not to induce vomiting, have small meal in the night and avoid sleeping immediately. Acidity will be reduced by this agent and the acidity is making you feel uncomfortable. I would have suggested you to follow the advice and not to induce vomiting. You should be fine.

Wish you good health.
