Acid Reflux/ GERD - #19649

Gladys

Why do i feel like I'm short of breath after eating? I usually eat chicken, pork lean meat and fish. I usually stand up or walk around after eating but I always feel short of breath. Sometimes, the food that the doctor tell me that is a trigger for acid reflux does not affect me but the food that is good for my acid reflux sometimes a trigger and give me a slight shortness in breath/ heaviness in chest. I already stopped taking PPIs because it has no effect on me. I am just taking alkaline water (ph9). What else can I do to prevent shortness of breath after eating? I can't inhale more deeply anymore. My chest hurts when I inhale deeply. Only half a deep breath is all I can do when breathing through nose and I'm having a hard time doing diapraghm breathing. I've already had a chest xray and the results are all good.

Hi Galdys,

I'm sorry to hear about your breathing difficulties. 

1. How long have you been experiencing this shortness of breath after eating, and does it occur after every meal or only certain types of food?
2. Have you noticed any specific patterns with the foods that cause the shortness of breath? Are there any particular times or situations when it worsens (e.g., stress, certain times of day)?
3. Are you experiencing any other symptoms like heartburn, bloating, or nausea, which might indicate digestive issues or an underlying condition?

We called this condition as ajirna. In this condition there is reduce digestion ,we call it as reduce agni. So whatever you are going to eat which is heavy specially non-veg ,it's very difficult for your body to digest it and hence you are getting all the symptoms. So you must focus on eating boiled moong/ moong dal, rice(which are >1 yr old), warm water for 7 days and avoid everything .Stick to this diet and you will find improvement in a day or two.

Hello Kalpana,
SLE (Lupus) causes body pain, swelling, mouth ulcers, and headaches due to immune system imbalance. Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation and balancing Pitta and Vata. Herbs like Guduchi, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric help control inflammation. Amla and Licorice soothe mouth ulcers. Triphala supports detoxification. Avoid spicy, fried, and processed foods and eat a cooling, anti-inflammatory diet. Regular Ayurvedic treatment and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms. However, autoimmune diseases like SLE require proper analysis and examination before treatment. Consult an Ayurvedic doctor for an accurate diagnosis and personalized plan.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s condition.ould you share what foods she typically consumes daily, particularly if there are any that seem to worsen the symptoms like inflammation or pain? How is her sleep, and does she experience a lot of stress? Additionally, understanding her recent lab results, such as kidney function, autoimmune markers, and any other blood tests related to lupus, would help guide the treatment approach.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) is considered an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas, with excess heat (Pitta) and dryness or depletion (Vata) causing inflammation, pain, and swelling. Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Turmeric (Curcumin) can help reduce inflammation and support immune function. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is an excellent herb to balance the immune system and reduce autoimmune flare-ups. For mouth ulcers, Aloe Vera gel can be soothing, and a paste of Turmeric and Honey may help speed healing. Ghee (clarified butter) can be beneficial to reduce dryness and improve joint health.

Namaste,

I understand your concern regarding your wife’s SLE (Lupus), which is an autoimmune condition. Ayurveda classifies this under Aamvata or Rakta Dushti, where excess toxins (Ama) and an aggravated Pitta-Vata dosha trigger inflammation. While she is currently on steroids (Prednisolone) and immunosuppressants, Ayurveda can support symptom relief, reduce inflammation, and improve immunity naturally.


1.Tab.Giloy ghan vati  – 1 Tab twice daily with warm water (Enhances immunity & reduces inflammation).
2.Punarnava Tablet – 1 tab twice daily with warm water (Reduces swelling & water retention).
3. Ashwagandha Churna – 1/2 teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk (Reduces stress & body pain).

For Mouth Ulcers:
Triphala Powder Gargle – Mix 1 teaspoon in warm water and rinse twice daily.
Licorice (Mulethi) Powder Paste – Apply on ulcers for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

 Avoid:
Processed foods, sugar, dairy, spicy & fermented foods (which trigger inflammation).
Cold drinks & foods (which aggravate Vata).
Excessive stress & overexertion.

Include:
 Fresh home-cooked food (moong dal, ghee, soups, vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin).
 Turmeric + Black Pepper in warm water or milk (for anti-inflammatory benefits).
Coconut water & Aloe Vera Juice (5 mL twice daily)
Include Ginger & Tulsi Tea
Adequate Rest – Avoid extreme temperatures & maintain an stress-free environment.
Continue Ayurveda alongside allopathic medicines to avoid withdrawal effects of steroids.
	•	Regularly monitor kidney function & inflammation markers (CRP, ESR) with the treating doctor.
	•	If symptoms worsen, consult a specialist
