HELLO KANGKANA,
Shortness of breath and a fast heartbeat after eating-especially in someone with systemic lupus erythematous(SLE)- can signal gastrointestinal or cardiopulmonary complications.
FIRST-RULE OUT MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
GET EVALUATED
-CHEST X-RAY OR ECG
-ECHOCARDIOGRAM
-BLOOD PRESSURE AND OXYGEN LEVELS POST MEALS
In Ayurveda, SLE is understood as a chronic autoimmune disorder rooted in:
-Agni dysfunction- digestive and metabolic fire
-Accumulation of Ama(toxins)
-Disruption of Rasa dhatu(nutritional fluid), Ojas (immunity essence)
-Imbalance of pitta-vata, often with kapha aggravation - causing congestion, fatigue
Think of your digestion as a fire- called agni in ayurveda
when the fire is weak or disturbed
-food doesn't get digestion well
-it creates ama(toxins or undigested matter
-this spreads to other parts of your body
-in your case, it affects your lungs(breath), heart, and digestion
TREATMENT GOAL
-Improve digestion
-reduce inflammation-from SLE
-clear gas and ease breathing
-support heart function
-strengthen immunity - ojus
-balances doshas= vata-pitta mainly
INTERNALLY START WITH
1)FOR DIGESTION AND ACIDITY
- AMLANT TABS(Dabur or baidyanth brand)= 2 tabs after meals twice daily
-SUTSHEKHAR RAS PLAIN(baidyanth/zandu)= 1 tab twice a day with water
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA- 1/2 tsp with ghee or warm water before lunch and dinner
2)FOR SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND GAS IN CHEST
these helps reduce breathlessness caused by gas and pressure on the lungs
-SHAWAS KUTHAR RAS- (Patanjali/baidyanath)= 1 tab twice a dy
-DASHMOOLARISHTA- (baidyanath)= 20 ml with equal water after meals
-SITOPALADI CHURNA- (zandu/dabur)= 1 tsp with honey twice daily
3)FOR FAST HEART BEAT AND STRESS
helps with anxiety, palpitations, nervousness and sleep
-SARPAGANDHA VATI(patanjali/baidyanth)= 1 tab at bedtime
-STRESS COM CAPSULES(dabur)= 1 cap twice daily
-ARJUNARISHTA- (baidyanth)= 15 ml with water after lunch/dinner
4) FOR IMMUNITY AND SLE SUPPORT
these help cool down the overactive immune system and reduce inflammation
-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI(patanjali/himalaya)= 2 tabs daily in morning
-CHYAWANPRASHA(sugar free)- dabur or zandu= 1 tsp every morning
-GILOY SATVA + YASHTIMADHU- mix together= 125 mg each twice daily
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED STRICTLY
AVOID
-fried, spicy, sour, and overly salty foods
-fermented items= curd at night, vinegar, pickles
-cold drinks, ice cream, aerated sodas
-tomatoes, garlic, onion(in excess), cheese
-wheat based junk= biscuits, bread with yeast
-red meat, overly heavy proteins
-alcohol, coffee, smoking
FAVOURABLE FOODS
-moong dal khichdi with cumin, ghee, ginger
-steamed veggies like lauki, parwal, pumpkin, ash gourd, carrots
-FRUITS= pomegranate, papaya, apple, soaked raisins, pear
-GRAINS= old rice, barley, ragi, oats, whole moong
-DAIRY- boiled cows mil with turmeric or nutmeg , NO COLD MILK
-SPICES- cumin, again, fennel, coriander, turmeric, ginger(fresh)
-GHEE- 1 tsp/day-excellent for immunity, gut health
-HERBAL TEAS= ginger-fennel-coriander-decoction or cumin water
USE LUKEWARM WATER ALWAYS. SIP JEERA+AJWAIN WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY
YOGA , PRANAYAM AND MEDITATION
BREATHING EXERCISE(10-15 MNS TOTAL)
-anulom vilom= 5-7min- balance nervous system, vata-pitta
-Bhramari= 5 min- soothes anxiety, heart palpitations
-Ujjayi= 2-3 min- strengthens lungs, controls breath rate
AVOID KAPALBHATI OR INTENSE BREATHWORK - it may worsen inflammation in SLE
YOGA ASANA
-Vajrasana= immediately after meals aids digestion
-Bhujangasana- strengthens lungs and dihestion
-Setu bandhasana- improves heart health
-Ardha matsyendrasana- detox+digestive
-Supta baddha konuşana- relaxes entire system
End with 10 minutes of you Nidra to reduce emotional stress
LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
-eat at the same time daily
-avoid lying down within 3 hours after meals
-sleep before 10:30 PM
-reduce screen time and mental stress
-weekly gentle body oil massage- with dashmoola or sesame oil- improves circulation and vata blance
-regular exposure to morning sunlight - immunity and mood
You're experiencing digestive and breathing issues linked to both gut imbalance and your underlying autoimmune condition(SLE). Ayurveda aims to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms by
-strengthening digestion
-reducing inflammation
-calming the nervous system
-supporting immunity naturally
with clean diet, targeted medications and gentle yoga and lifestyle changes , your body can regain balance over time.
STAY CONSISTENT , BE PATIENT
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
