What Are the Symptoms of Hyperacidity in Marathi?

Question

I’ve been experiencing a lot of discomfort lately that seems related to acidity, but I’m not sure if it’s hyperacidity or something else. Can someone explain the hyperacidity symptoms in Marathi so I can understand better and describe my condition more accurately to an Ayurvedic doctor?

For example, I often feel a burning sensation in my chest and throat after eating spicy foods or drinking coffee. This happens almost every other day and sometimes gets worse at night when I’m lying down. I’ve tried antacids, but they only give temporary relief. Is this one of the common hyperacidity symptoms in Marathi, and are there specific words or terms I can use to describe it?

I also feel bloated and gassy, especially in the evenings, and sometimes I even burp a lot. My grandmother suggested that this might be related to "amlapitta," but I don’t know if that’s the same thing as hyperacidity. If it is, what are the other symptoms of amlapitta, and how do I explain them clearly in Marathi?

Another thing I’ve noticed is that I occasionally have a sour taste in my mouth and mild nausea after meals. Are these signs of hyperacidity, or could they indicate something else? I want to make sure I’m not confusing this with indigestion or other gastric issues.

If anyone has dealt with hyperacidity and knows how to explain it in Marathi, please share your insights. What are the exact symptoms to watch out for, and are there any specific Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle changes that helped you manage it?

Symptoms of Hyperacidity (Amlapitta)

Hyperacidity, also known as "Amlapitta" in Ayurveda, is often identified by a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), sourness in the throat, and frequent burping, especially after consuming spicy, oily, or heavy meals. If you experience chest or throat discomfort that worsens at night while lying down, this is a common symptom of hyperacidity. You can explain your condition to a doctor by describing these sensations, such as "burning in the chest" or "sourness in the throat."

Other signs of hyperacidity include bloating, gas, and excessive burping. Some people also experience a sour or bitter taste in the mouth and mild nausea after eating. If you feel "heaviness in the stomach" or notice "frequent gassy bloating," these could also be symptoms of hyperacidity. It is essential to differentiate these from general indigestion when explaining your discomfort to a doctor.

In Ayurveda, hyperacidity is linked to imbalances in the Pitta dosha, and treatment focuses on dietary and lifestyle changes. Remedies include consuming ghee, warm water, or a decoction made with cumin and coriander. Avoiding spicy, fried, and heavy foods, and eating meals at regular intervals, can prevent flare-ups. Yoga and meditation are also beneficial for improving digestion and reducing stress. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, it’s advisable to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored treatments.
