HELLO DEVANS,
The root causes are
1)Weak agni(mandagni)= your digestion is not cooking food properly
-In ayurveda ,agni(digestive fire) is the core of health.
when it becomes dull due to stress, irregular food habits, eating cold/stale food etc, digestion becomes incomplete->forming Ama(toxins)
-Ama is sticky, unprocessed food matter. It
-blocks energy channels(srotas)
-causes bloating and gas
-moves to different tissues, causing body pain
-makes you feel dull, heavy,and weak
AGNI DOWN->AMA UP->GAS+PAIN+ACIDTY+FATIGUE
2)Vata-vyapti(vata overactivity)
when digestion is weak, vata dosha gets disturbed-especially in colon and nerves.
*vata disturbance causes
-GAS,BLOATING=vata stuck in colon(apana vata)
-CHEST TIGHTNESS/PAIN= vata moving upward(udana vata)
-BACK,SHOULDER PAIN= vata occupying spaces(joints and bone marrow)
-LEG PAIN=vata moving erratically (Vyana vata)
-STRESS,INSOMNIA= vata affecting mind and prana.
3)Acid reflux=pitta aggravated+vata pushing it upward
you are likely experiencing Amlapiita, a condition
where:
-digestive acids are overproduced -due to irregular food habits, spicy/oily food, stress)
-vata pushes this acidic content upward, causing- burning, throat irritation, chest heaviness, indigestion and sour burps
4)Psychosomatic link- Gut and Mind
-your gut and brain are deeply connected via gut-brain axis.
- stress affects digestion by increasing cortisol and adrenaline.
-these hormones tighten your abdominal and back muscles, reduce blood flow to gut, and slow peristalsis->gas builds up
-vata increases->thoughts race, body gets stiff, and digestion collapses further
THIS IS WHY YOU FEEL
-something is wrong in your body
-all symptoms moving around- chest, back,legs,shoulders
5)Why Gas radiates like body pain
trapped gas presses against muscles and nerves
-Upward->chest pain(mimics heart pain),shoulder heaviness
-Downward->leg cramps.
-Around navel->bloating, abdominal tightness
You may feel like you have nerve pain, but it's actually vata pressing on nerve endings due to trapped gas+toxins
let me clear what is vata, vata is air element present in human body.
I hope you understand what is going inside your body
So the total treatment is planned for 40 days
remember only taking medicines will not help
so with internal medications, proper diet, yoga pranayam,and lifestyle modifications also plays major role in healing
#STAGE 1=DEEPAN+PACHAN(BOOSTS DIGESTION AND REMOVE TOXINS)
-take for 40 days continue to get relief
1)Hingwastaka churna-'1 tsp with warm water after meals twice daily= improves digestion, reduces gas instantly
2)Avipattikar churna- 1 tsp with warm water-before sleep at bedtimme=controls acid,promotes bowel movement
3)Sutsekhar ras- 1 tab with water after meals twice daily=for acid reflux and chest tightness
4)Arogyavardhini vati- 1 tab after lunch= detoxifies liver, regulates pitta
5)Ashwagandha capsule- 1 cap at night with warm milk= relieves stress, pain, improves sleep
#STAGE 2- GUT RESET DIE(7-15 DAYS )-STRICTLY FOLLOW FOR 2 WEEKS COMPULSORY

#EAT-

-setubandhasana- morning= opens chest and relieves upper pressure
-vajrasana(5-10 min post meals)= improves digestion

-Bhramari pranayam- night= relieves chest pressure and mental noise
-Shavasana- after yoga= relaxes full body and nerves
most importantly suryanamsakr-5 cycles daily in morning
#STAGE 4- HOME DETOX+SLEEP RESET

2)Jeera+Dhaniya+Fennel decoction- boil 1/2 tsp each in 2 cups->reduce to 1 cup
3)haritaki Churna-1 tsp with warm water at night->cleanses colon
SLEEP TIPS

weekly plan you can follow

fri= haritaki 1 tsp at night with other medications
sat= warm oil full body massage with sesame oil
sun= rest, deep breathing, calming
#tips for "something is wrong" in your feeling
-this is not in your head. you are having mix of poor gut health+nervous system overdrive
-slow down your eating- chew food 32 times and eat in silence
-daily walk barefoot on grass
-daily walk 30 min after dinner-very important
final words-
you are not sick , but your body is crying for regulation.
Ayurveda heals this from the root-without suppressing symptoms.
Give this 40 days and your gas, body pain,reflux and the uneasy feeling will start reversing naturally
hope this might be helpful
do follow and get well soon in next 40 days
thank you

From what you've described, your symptoms like full body pain, acid reflux, weak digestion, stress, chest pain, heaviness in the shoulders and back, and pain in the legs can be challenging, often linked with imbalances in the doshas, mainly Vata and Pitta. According to Ayurveda, Vata governs movement and nervous system functions, while Pitta handles metabolism and digestion. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to irregular digestion, stress, and pain. Pitta imbalances can cause digestive issues, including acid reflux.
Start with your diet. Focus on warm, easy-to-digest foods like cooked grains such as rice, quinoa, or oatmeal. Incorporate ghee, which is believed to balance both Vata and Pitta. Avoid cold, raw foods and fermented items, as these can aggravate Vata. For acid reflux, try sipping on warm water with a bit of diluted lime juice to help with digestion.
Lifestyle adjustments are also crucial. Keep a routine that calms Vata, such as consistent meal and sleep times. Gentle exercises like yoga or walking are recommended. Activities like pranayama (breathing exercises) may help alleviate stress.
Herbs can be supportive as well. Trikatu and triphala are classic choices used to enhance digestion, while ashwagandha is known for helping with stress. Consult with a qualified practitioner before introducing new herbs into your routine to ensure they're suitable for your individual constitution.
It's equally important to address any potential immediate concerns. Since you mentioned chest pain, it's necessary to rule out any serious underlying issues. Seeking professional medical advice promptly to ensure nothing serious is missed is priority.
Commit to these adjustments over time; Ayurveda emphasizes gradual, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. Listen to your body as it guides you towards balance.
