Namaste, Your symptoms — chest heaviness, difficulty in swallowing, dizziness, and bloating — indicate significant digestion disturbance with possible acid reflux and vata-pitta imbalance affecting the upper digestive tract. Since symptoms are severe and long-standing, proper evaluation is important along with supportive care. The focus should be on reducing acidity, relieving gas, and calming the system. Avoid spicy, sour, fried, and heavy foods. Do not eat large meals — take small, frequent meals. Avoid lying down immediately after eating and keep a gap of 2–3 hours before sleep. Reduce tea/coffee and avoid eating late at night. Prefer soft, warm, freshly cooked food and sip warm water. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water Kamadudha Ras (mild) – 1 tablet, twice daily after food Dadimashtaka Churna – 1 teaspoon, once daily with food These are traditionally used to reduce acidity, improve digestion, and relieve bloating when combined with proper routine. ⚠️ Important: Since you have difficulty swallowing and dizziness, it is important to rule out esophageal or cardiac causes if not already done. Please consult a physician for proper evaluation alongside treatment. With consistent care, symptoms can improve gradually over a few weeks. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.

1.Avipattikar churna 1/2 tsp twice daily with warm water after meals 2.Hingwashtak churna 1/2 tsp twice daily with warm water before meals 3.Kamdudha rasa 1 tab twice daily with honey or water after meals 4.Syp.Energy plus 2 tsp twice daily Diet Tips---- Eat warm, cooked meals → avoid cold, raw, or heavy foods that aggravate bloating and chest discomfort. Small, frequent meals → instead of large portions, eat 4–5 light meals to reduce pressure on digestion. Include soothing foods → rice gruel (kanji), moong dal soup, boiled vegetables, pumpkin, bottle gourd, ridge gourd. Use digestive spices gently → cumin, fennel, ajwain, coriander in cooking. Avoid triggers → fried, spicy, sour, carbonated drinks, late-night eating. Hydration → sip warm water throughout the day; avoid very cold drinks. Ghee → 1 tsp daily with warm rice or milk to soothe inflammation. Lifestyle Tips— Meal timing: Try to eat at regular times; irregular meals worsen bloating and heaviness. Posture after meals: Sit upright for at least 30 minutes; avoid lying down immediately. Gentle walking: 10–15 minutes after meals helps digestion and reduces bloating. Stress management: Practice slow breathing (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) to reduce dizziness and chest tightness. Sleep routine: Early bedtime, avoid heavy meals at night. Oil massage (Abhyanga): Warm sesame oil massage on chest and abdomen weekly to calm Vata and reduce discomfort.

Ayurvedic Prescription 1. Swarna Sutshekhar Ras Dosage: 1 tablet twice daily. Time: 30 minutes before meals. 2. Yashtimadhu Phant (Licorice Cold Infusion) Preparation: Soak 1 teaspoon of Yashtimadhu powder in a glass of water overnight (or for a few hours). Strain and sip slowly throughout the day. 3. Avipattikar Churna Dosage: 1 teaspoon at bedtime. Time: With normal or slightly cool water. ✓Crucial Dietary Rule Until the clinical tests are clear and swallowing improves, the patient must be placed on a strictly liquid or semi-solid diet at room temperature.
