HELLO KANGKANA,

Shortness of breath and a fast heartbeat after eating-especially in someone with systemic lupus erythematous(SLE)- can signal gastrointestinal or cardiopulmonary complications.

FIRST-RULE OUT MEDICAL EMERGENCIES GET EVALUATED -CHEST X-RAY OR ECG -ECHOCARDIOGRAM -BLOOD PRESSURE AND OXYGEN LEVELS POST MEALS

In Ayurveda, SLE is understood as a chronic autoimmune disorder rooted in: -Agni dysfunction- digestive and metabolic fire -Accumulation of Ama(toxins) -Disruption of Rasa dhatu(nutritional fluid), Ojas (immunity essence) -Imbalance of pitta-vata, often with kapha aggravation - causing congestion, fatigue

Think of your digestion as a fire- called agni in ayurveda when the fire is weak or disturbed -food doesn’t get digestion well -it creates ama(toxins or undigested matter -this spreads to other parts of your body -in your case, it affects your lungs(breath), heart, and digestion

TREATMENT GOAL -Improve digestion -reduce inflammation-from SLE -clear gas and ease breathing -support heart function -strengthen immunity - ojus -balances doshas= vata-pitta mainly

INTERNALLY START WITH

1)FOR DIGESTION AND ACIDITY

- AMLANT TABS(Dabur or baidyanth brand)= 2 tabs after meals twice daily

-SUTSHEKHAR RAS PLAIN(baidyanth/zandu)= 1 tab twice a day with water

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA- 1/2 tsp with ghee or warm water before lunch and dinner

-DASHMOOLARISHTA- (baidyanath)= 20 ml with equal water after meals

-SITOPALADI CHURNA- (zandu/dabur)= 1 tsp with honey twice daily

-STRESS COM CAPSULES(dabur)= 1 cap twice daily

-ARJUNARISHTA- (baidyanth)= 15 ml with water after lunch/dinner

4) FOR IMMUNITY AND SLE SUPPORT these help cool down the overactive immune system and reduce inflammation

-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI(patanjali/himalaya)= 2 tabs daily in morning

-CHYAWANPRASHA(sugar free)- dabur or zandu= 1 tsp every morning

-GILOY SATVA + YASHTIMADHU- mix together= 125 mg each twice daily

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED STRICTLY

AVOID -fried, spicy, sour, and overly salty foods -fermented items= curd at night, vinegar, pickles -cold drinks, ice cream, aerated sodas -tomatoes, garlic, onion(in excess), cheese -wheat based junk= biscuits, bread with yeast -red meat, overly heavy proteins -alcohol, coffee, smoking

FAVOURABLE FOODS -moong dal khichdi with cumin, ghee, ginger -steamed veggies like lauki, parwal, pumpkin, ash gourd, carrots -FRUITS= pomegranate, papaya, apple, soaked raisins, pear -GRAINS= old rice, barley, ragi, oats, whole moong -DAIRY- boiled cows mil with turmeric or nutmeg , NO COLD MILK -SPICES- cumin, again, fennel, coriander, turmeric, ginger(fresh) -GHEE- 1 tsp/day-excellent for immunity, gut health -HERBAL TEAS= ginger-fennel-coriander-decoction or cumin water

AVOID KAPALBHATI OR INTENSE BREATHWORK - it may worsen inflammation in SLE

YOGA ASANA -Vajrasana= immediately after meals aids digestion -Bhujangasana- strengthens lungs and dihestion -Setu bandhasana- improves heart health -Ardha matsyendrasana- detox+digestive -Supta baddha konuşana- relaxes entire system

End with 10 minutes of you Nidra to reduce emotional stress

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS -eat at the same time daily -avoid lying down within 3 hours after meals -sleep before 10:30 PM -reduce screen time and mental stress -weekly gentle body oil massage- with dashmoola or sesame oil- improves circulation and vata blance -regular exposure to morning sunlight - immunity and mood

You’re experiencing digestive and breathing issues linked to both gut imbalance and your underlying autoimmune condition(SLE). Ayurveda aims to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms by -strengthening digestion -reducing inflammation -calming the nervous system -supporting immunity naturally

with clean diet, targeted medications and gentle yoga and lifestyle changes , your body can regain balance over time.

STAY CONSISTENT , BE PATIENT

God Bless You 😊🙏

If you have any questions u can ask me.I will answer to the level of your satisfaction.U have text option here.

Based on your description, it sounds like your symptoms of shortness of breath and heartburn could be linked. Considering you have SLE or systemic lupus erythematosus, it’s especially important to manage symptoms carefully. Please be aware that if severe shortness of breath or any discomfort becomes critical or worsens, immediate medical attention from a healthcare professional is crucial.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this can indicate an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, associated with digestive issues and increased internal heat. Here are some practical steps you might find helpful to address this:

1) Diet plays a crucial role; opt for cooling and Pitta-reducing foods. Consume more fruits like melons, coconut water, and pears. Avoid spicy, oily, and excessively sour foods, as they may aggrevate your condition. Eating slowly and avoiding overeating can also be beneficial.

2) Herbal remedies such as licorice root (Yashtimadhu) and Amla (Indian Gooseberry) may soothe heartburn. You can take licorice tea or Amla juice in moderation. However, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or doctor about suitability, especially due to your underlying condition.

3) Practicing diaphragmatic breathing or slow deep breathing can help manage shortness of breath. Inhale deeply through the nose, letting the chest and lower belly rise, and exhale comfortably. It may ease the tightness you feel post-meals.

4) Timing of meals matter. Eating earlier in the evening rather than late night can improve digestion. Make sure to sit calmly after eating, allowing food to digest properly.

5) Keep a journal of your symptoms, when they occur — might be meals or specific stresses triggering them. This could be useful for any practitioner working with you.

Lastly, while these suggestions manage symptoms, SLE is complex and requires regular monitoring. Conversations with your healthcare provider about your treatment plan or any new changes in symptoms are crucial to ensure holistic and safe care.

HELLO KANGKANA,

Feeling shortness of breath and heartburn after eating, especially with a history of systemic lupus erythematous, requires a thoughtful approach. This could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disorder, gastric distention, diaphragmatic pressure, or even cardiopulmonary involvement(which can happen with SLE)

POSSIBLE MEDICAL CAUSES with SLE in the background, here are some causes for your symptoms: -GERD(acid reflux):- acid irritates the oesophagus, causing heartburn and sometimes pressure that feels like breathlessness.

-Gastric bloating or delayed gastric emptying: this can compress the diaphragm

-Pleural or cardiac involvement in SLE: SLE can cause pericarditis or pleuritis, which may worsen after eating.

-Medication side effects- steroids, NSAIDs, or immunosuppressants used in SLE may worsen GI symptoms.

In Ayurveda this condition may involve weak digestion and acid reflux possibly aggravated by vata and pitta imbalance.

1) DIET ADJUSTMENTS -eat light, warm, and easily digestible food= khichdi, moong dal soup, steamed veggies AVOID= fried, spicy, sour, and cold foods, which aggrave pitta. AVOID lying down immediately after eating. -eat small meals, don’t overload the stomach. -sip warm water with ginger after meals

LIFESTYLE -avoid late-night eating and heavy dinners -elevate your head slightly while sleeping -do gentle walking after meals around 30 minutes

HERBAL REMEDIES

1) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA -1/2 tsp with warm water twice daily before meals = helps acid balance

2) KANDUGDHA RASA(WITH MUKTA)- 1 tab twice daily after meals = foor cooling pitta and managing GERD

3) SHATAVARI CHURNA- 1 tsp daily in morning with warm milk = supports mucosal healing and balances pitta

4) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI- 1 tab twice daily after meals = if there’s sluggish digestion and liver involvement

5) TRIPHALA- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime = mild detox and digestive aids

GENTLE detox therapies like VIRECHANA is suggested only under supervision and when SLE is stable

See doctor immediately -if shortness of breath is severe, occurs even at rest or accompanied by chest pain, swelling in the legs, or fatigue. -to rule out cardiac complications, SLE- related lung issues, or gastric ulcerrs
