So it sounds like you’re dealing with a lot, huh? Anxiety attacks, dizziness, and all those issues with your stomach – that’s no picnic. The fact that stopping outside food and Ayurvedic meds seemed to help, tho, is def a silver lining. Let me break this down with some Ayurvedic insights for ya.
First off, anxiety and gas issues might both relate to Vata dosha imbalance. Vata’s qualities are light, dry, and mobile, which can lead to those gas problems and also impact your nervous system, causing anxiety and that dizziness. You might want to focus on calming Vata by eating warm, cooked foods and avoiding cold, raw stuff. Think of rice, ghee, boiled veggies… Stuff that’ll feel grounding for your system.
With IBS symptoms and loose motions, your Agni (digestive fire) might be weak. When it’s outta whack, your digestive system doesn’t process food well, leading to issues like IBS. To balance your Agni, try sipping on warm ginger tea throughout the day. Ginger aids digestion and provides warmth to the digestive fire.
You mentioned losing weight and adjusting your meds. Arjuna, Brahmi, and Ashwagandha, yeah, they’re known for aiding heart health and calming your nerves – but if they didn’t help, its best to reconsider. Brahmi is great for stress, but probably don’t overdo it. Same with Ashwagandha; it strengthens, but listen to you body’s response.
To support your current situation further, sneak in some yoga or simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom. They really help in settling Vata and reducing anxiety. And keep hydrated, man, especially if you deal with dizziness.
For immediate concerns, reach out to your doc, given your med history & the weight loss. Stay safe and take it easy.
