Doctors' responses

I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with such a range of uncomfortable symptoms. To help understand the root cause, I’d like to know more about your daily routine and lifestyle. How are your eating habits—do you tend to eat large meals, or is your diet high in acidic, spicy, or fried foods? How is your stress level, as emotional strain can impact digestion significantly? It would also be useful to know about your bowel movements—do you tend to feel constipated for extended periods, or is it more intermittent? Additionally, have you noticed any patterns with your symptoms, such as certain times of day or food types that make it worse or better? Any family history of digestive or metabolic disorders would also be helpful.

Your symptoms sound pretty intense, and I’m sure that’s gotta be tough dealing with all those at once! Let’s dive into this from an Ayurvedic perspective. The symptoms you’re describing, like bloating, indigestion, constipation, headaches, and fatigue, suggest an imbalance in your Vata and possibly Pitta doshas.

Let’s tackle digestion first. Your digestive fire (Agni) seems weak or irregular, which is probably leading to all the discomfort you’re feeling. A first step could be simplifying your meals to make them more digestible — think kichari (a mix of rice and mung beans) with some cumin, coriander and ginger. Cook it soft and warm, it can be soothing to the gut.

About your routines, small adjustments can make a huge difference too. Try having meals at consistent times. Avoid too much raw, cold or heavy foods, particularly in the evening as they can overwhelm your digestion process.

Sip on warm water throughout the day, maybe add a slice of ginger or a few cumin seeds to it, great for stimulating digestion.

For your sleep, developing a bedtime ritual might help your insomnia. Maybe try some Brahmi oil massage on your scalp and soles of feet; it can calm Vata and encourage restful sleep.

You’re likely experiencing some stress or anxiety that’s contributing to the headaches and lightheadedness. Breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can balance the mind and reduce stress.

Incorporating yoga or gentle stretching into your day could ease fatigue and support digestion. Poses like Vajrasana right after meals can aid in digestion. And please avoid eating while you’re distracted (tv or phone), 'cause that can worsen Vata imbalance.

Alright, let’s not forget hydration — but cautiously. Don’t drink too much water right before or after meals, it can dilute your digestive enzymes.

Finally, it’s crucial to keep an open line with your primary healthcare provider, especially since you’re having vomiting and persistent headaches. Certain conditions need checking up fast, and it’s always better to be safe.
