What is causing my face bloating, hair loss, low period flow, fatigue, sweating, and chest pain after eating? - #55929

Correcting the Digestion (Agni Mandya & Udvavritta Vata) ••​The chest pain you feel after eating, accompanied by gas, is likely Udvavritta Vata—where digestive gas travels upward instead of downward, mimicking chest pain. When digestion is weak, it creates Ama (metabolic toxins), which blocks channels and leads to face bloating and lethargy. ​Deepan & Pachan (Igniting the fire): Drink warm water infused with cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds (Jeera-Dhania-Saunf water) throughout the day. This gently stimulates digestion without overheating your system. ••​Carminative Support: Taking Hingwashtak Churna (about 1–2 grams) or Lavan Bhaskar Churna with the first bite of your lunch with a little warm water or ghee can prevent that post-meal gas from rushing to your chest. ••​The Golden Rule: Avoid drinking ice-cold water, especially during or immediately after meals, as it completely douses your digestive fire. ​2. Regulating the Cycle & Hormones (Artava Kshaya) •​A scanty period flow (Artava Kshaya), face bloating, and hair loss heavily suggest that the tissue metabolism (Dhatu Agni) responsible for reproductive health is sluggish, often tied to Kapha-Medas (fat tissue) accumulation. ••​Classical Herbocelestial Formulations: Formulations containing Kanchanar Guggulu are highly effective in clearing deep-seated tissue blockages and regulating fluid retention/bloating. ••​Uterine Tonics: Chandraprabha Vati or Raja Pravartini Vati are traditionally used to stimulate and regularize menstrual flow when it is low, ensuring the body detoxifies properly each month. ••​Nourishing the Hair Roots: Since your body is fatigued and you are losing hair, the plasma tissue (Rasa Dhatu) isn’t nourishing your hair roots. Gentle herbs like Amalaki (Amla) and Shatavari help balance Pitta, cool the excessive sweating, and provide micronutrients to the hair. ​3. Combating the All-Day Fatigue & Sweating ​Your low energy and excessive sweating indicate that your metabolic rate is faulty and your body is working twice as hard to process nutrients. ••​Nasya Therapy: Putting 2 drops of Anu Taila or pure warm cow’s ghee into each nostril in the morning on an empty stomach can help stimulate the pituitary gland, balancing hormones and reducing facial puffiness. ••​Ojas Builders: Once your digestion improves and gas subsides, introducing rejuvenating tonics like Ashwagandha or Narasimha Rasayana will help rebuild your core strength and eliminate the chronic fatigue. Time of Day Action / Remedy Purpose •Morning (Empty Stomach) Warm water + 1 tsp Aloe Vera juice & a pinch of dry ginger powder Flushes toxins, reduces face bloat •Before Meals A small slice of fresh ginger with a drop of lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt Wakens the digestive enzymes ••Post Meals (Lunch/Dinner) Chew half a teaspoon of roasted Fennel seeds (Saunf) Prevents gas accumulation in the chest ••Bedtime 1/2 tsp of Triphala Churna with warm water Ensures clear morning elimination, reducing Kapha/Vata

Your symptoms together (hair fall + low period flow + fatigue + facial bloating + sweating) may suggest a hormonal imbalance such as thyroid issues, anemia, or PCOS, along with digestion disturbance causing chest gas. Avoid spicy, oily foods and late meals. Take warm, freshly cooked food and maintain proper sleep. Ashokarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food Avipattikar tablet – 1 tablet after meals Shatavari churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime Please also check TSH, hemoglobin, Vitamin D and B12, as these symptoms commonly occur with deficiencies or thyroid imbalance.
