Stomach upset, muscle weakness, cervical pain - #18876

Hello Mr Abdul, Have you consulted a gastroenterologist before? Any mucus or blood in stool? Have you been advised colonoscopy or endoscopy? Can you elaborate your mental symptoms to provide you better solution.

Before providing a detailed Ayurvedic recommendation, I would like to understand your condition better. Could you please answer the following questions? • Do you feel bloated after meals? • Do you experience excessive burping or acidity? • What foods worsen your gas problem? • Do you feel heaviness after eating? • Do you have any foul-smelling stools or undigested food particles in your stool? • How is your appetite—low, normal • Is your muscle stiffness worse in the morning or evening? • Do you feel shaky or weak when standing for long? • Have you checked your blood tests like Vitamin D, B12, and hemoglobin levels recently? • Do you experience difficulty concentrating? • How is your sleep—restful or disturbed? • Do you feel anxious or stressed frequently? • Have you noticed any mood swings or lack of concentration? • What is your daily routine (work hours, physical activity, sleep schedule)? • Do you consume tea, coffee, alcohol, or processed foods regularly? • Do you have any past history of thyroid issues, diabetes, or neurological conditions?

Abdul, it sounds like you’re dealing with quite the mix of issues there. Stomach upset causing muscle weakness, neck pain, and even affecting your mental state is a lot to handle. Let’s untangle this a bit using Ayurveda’s wisdom.

First, it seems like there could be an imbalance in your Vata dosha. Vata, when aggravated, can cause gas, muscle stiffness, weakness, and even mental instability. Your diet and routine might be increasing Vata. So, let’s talk about diet first. Try eating warm, cooked foods rather than raw or cold ones. Soups, stews, and porridges can be soothing. Avoid foods that are dry or rough, like crackers. You should also cut down on beans and legumes for now, as they can be gas-producing.

For your digestive fire, or agni, which seems weak given your stool issues, consider starting your day with a cup of warm water infused with a little ginger. This can spark digestion. Try to eat meals at the same time every day to regulate your digestive system. Avoid overeating, and give yourself time to fully digest one meal before moving on to the next.

About the neck and legs, let’s encourage some gentle yoga to sync with your body’s rhythm. Try some gentle stretches, focusing on your neck and lower body. A cat-cow pose for the neck and simple leg lifts might be useful. But don’t push yourself too hard – listen to your body.

Mindfully look into relaxation too, a warm oil massage, known as Abhyanga, using sesame oil can nourish the tissues and calm Vata, hence reducing stiffness. For your mind, maybe start a little meditation practice, just a few minutes a day, to help with mental weakness.

These are some pointers to help you move forward – but, with unconsciousness involved, I’d highly advise seeing a doctor to rule out anything serious. Ayurveda’s great, but don’t neglect conventional checks for comprehensive care.
