I am 39 year old female with 2 children, happy married life. I am suffering from above said problem from last 15 years. indigestion problem includes acidity, belching , stomach bloating , constipation . i wll awaken in the middle of the night after 3-4 hrs sleep when digestion problem is there. I use to sleep at same time daily (9- 9.30 pm). falling asleep is not a problem. indigestion will be more during summer and wind seasons. I have taken treatment with many doctors, many medicines including anti depressants. problem will be under control when uing medices and re-occur after 1 or 2 weeks. gone through endoscopy last year, results were normal.some doctors told it is due to mental condition. but i do meditation and exercise regularly and keep my mind calm. please help and suggest a treatment for my condition.

Hi Rathna,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you are having increased acidity in the stomach resulting in gastritis.
It can be aggravated by anxiety so you should continue doing meditation and exercise and should live a healthy life style and follow some precautions like :-
1. Avoid spicy/oily foods.
2. Donot miss a meal.
3. Drink lots of water.
4. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
5. Donot self medicate especially with pain killers and steroids.
6. Avoid gas producing foods like peas, legumes, cabbages,etc.
You can take antacid like Omeprazole 20 mg once a day before breakfast along with Domperidone 10 mg for relief from your symptoms.
Also get yourself investigated for H.pylori.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
