hello Gaurav,
It sounds like your system is overloaded and over-stimulated what we call in Ayurveda a state of aggravated Vata and Pitta. When these doshas are disturbed, especially in the Manovaha Srotas (mind channels) and Annavaha Srotas (digestive tract), they create exactly the kind of symptoms you’re facing: head heaviness, restlessness (ghabrahat), acid reflux, disturbed sleep, fatigue, and fear of something serious.
Please understand your body is not broken, it’s just imbalanced. That feeling of “something big is wrong” is actually a Vata-type anxiety combined with digestive Ama (toxin) build-up. With the right herbs and routine, this can be brought back to balance without fear or dependency.
internal medications- 1 Month (to settle Vata–Pitta + Ama):
Manasmitra Vatakam – 1 tab at bedtime with milk (calms nervous system, helps sleep)
Sutshekhar Ras – 1 tab twice daily before meals (very effective for ghabrahat + acidity)
Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water (clears gut heat + toxins)
Brahmi Ghrita – ½ tsp early morning empty stomach with warm water
Ashwagandharishta – 15 ml with equal water after dinner
Diet Tips
Avoid tea/coffee, fried or spicy food, curd, fridge water, and late-night eating.
Start day with warm jeera-ajwain water.
Eat light meals like moong dal khichdi, bottle gourd curry, rice, and steamed vegetables.
Add cow’s ghee to food for calming Vata.
Shodana karma :
Nasya: 2 drops Kshirabala Taila (101) in each nostril in the morning after steam
Night: Warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg and Brahmi powder – sip slowly before sleep
Lie down for 10 mins in silence after meals to reset Prana flow
Investigations (if not done recently):
ECG (to rule out heart concern)
Thyroid profile
Serum Vitamin B12, D3
CBC, LFT
H. pylori antigen test (if acidity is chronic)
Your mind and body are just crying out for grounding. You don’t have to live in fear start with these simple steps, and things will settle gradually. Most importantly, remind yourself daily: "My body is healing, I am safe."
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care,
Regards, Dr.Karthika

HELLO GAURAV,
You're experiencing
-head heaviness, confusion
- Gabhrahat= inner restlessness, panic like feeling
- nausea, gas, acidity
- fatigue in the body and eyes
- heavy chest, increased heartbeat
- fear about heart or brain disease
- sleep problems(insomnia)
- no motivation to work or go to office
YOUR SYMPTOMS POINT TO
1) VATA DOSHA DISTURBANCE= controls nerves, sleep, movement, breathing
-when vata is imbalanced, it causes fear, anxiety, palpitations, dry body, insomnia
2) PITTA DOSHA DISTURBANCE= controls heat, digestion, metabolism
-when disturbed it leads to acidity, anger, restlessness, burning, irritability
3) WEAK AGNI(digestive fire)- your stomach and liver are not digesting food properly
-leads to gas, heaviness, acid reflux, nausea, and formation of Ama(toxins)
4) AMA(toxins)- due to undigested food, these block your body's channels, especially mind- body connection
-ama creates fatigue, heaviness, brain fog, skin problems, mental dullness
TREATMENT GOAL
ayurveda doesn't treat only symptoms, it restores natural balance. The goal is to
-restore digestion
- balance Vata-reduce fear, restlessness, insomnia
-pacify pitta- reduces acidity, heat, mental irritability
- detox mind and body
-calms the nervous system
-improves energy, focus and motivation
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS (for 4-8 weeks)
1) FOR DIGESTION AND GAS RELIEF
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water
= reduces gas, improves digestion, relieves heaviness
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp 30 minutes before dinner with warm water
= controls acidity, reflux, burning in stomach
-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water
=detoxifies the body, clears intestines supports liver
2) FOR ANXIETY , FEAR, GABHRAHAT, AND SLEEP
- SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals
=improves memory, calms nervous system , supports heart and mind
-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm milk
=reduces stress hormones like cortisol, strengthens nerves
-TAGARA CAPSULES= 500mg cap at night 1 hour before sleep
=natural sleep inducer without habit forming effect
- MANASAMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab twice daily with warm water
= for anxiety, panic, disturbed sleep, emotional instability
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
even if you take medicines, without calming your nervous system externally, results will be slow
1) HEAD MASSAGE WITH BRAHMI TAILA
=calms mind, reduces head heaviness
-do daily or alternate days before bath
2) FEET MASSAGE WITH SESAME OIL AT NIGHT
= induces natural sleep, relaxes nerves
3) WARM WATER BATH WITH EPSOM SALT
=reduces muscle fatigue and stress
DIET RECOMMENDATIONS
-digestion is the core of Ayurveda. eating wrong foods will nullify all medicines benefit
EAT
- moong dal khichdi, daliya, steamed rice+ ghee
- boiled or lightly sauteed vegetables= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin
- amla, pomegranate, ripe banana- only in morning
- jeera water, ajwain water, saunf tea
- buttermilk with roasted jeera and pinch of rock salt =very good for digestion
Eat small, warm meals. Do not skip meals or overeat
WHAT TO AVOID
-tea/coffee-too much stimulates vata and weakens digestion
-cold drinks, fridge water
- canned, fried, fermented foods
- pickles, chutneys, too much masala
- raw salads, especially at night
- late night dinner or snacking
GENERAL YOGA AND LIFESTYLE TIPS
YOGA(gentle, not forceful)
-Anulom-vilom= balances mind and breath
- Bhramari= calms nervous system and reduces ghabrahat
- Setu bandhasana= relieves chest tightness
- shavasana + yoga Nidra - improves sleep and resets brain waves
LIFESTYLE
-wake up early (before 7 am)= resets vata clock
- eat meals on time- stabilises digestion and mental health
- use dim lights in evening- supports melatonin production
- avoid screen use at night- disturbs vata and pitta
- keep a gratitude or journal diary- offloads anxious thoughts
-walk barefoot on grass or soil for 10 minutes daily- grounding for vata.
You are not alone. Many people today suffer from this mind- gut- heart connection disturbance due to lifestyle stress. It is very treatment with Ayurveda, and you don't need sleeping pills or antidepressants if caught early.
Ayurvedic healing works in layers
- reset digestion
- remove toxins (ama)
- calm nerves and mind
- restore natural sleep
-rebuild your energy and confidence
If you stick to the routine for even 21-30 days, you will start noticing
-less gabhrahat
- better sleep
- improve focus and digestion
- cleared head and reduced anxiety
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance that needs careful attention. From an Ayurvedic perspective, symptoms like head heaviness, ghabrahat (anxiety), nausea, and digestive issues can relate to a vitiated Vata dosha often exacerbated by irregular lifestyle habits. Let’s address these concerns step by step, aiming to restore balance gently.
Firstly, your digestion, known as Agni in Ayurveda, seems to be impaired, causing indigestion, gas, and acid reflux. Try consuming warm, easily digestible foods like khichdi, moong dal soup, and cooked vegetables to soothe your digestive system. Avoid cold, raw, and heavy-to-digest foods, especially during evenings. A ginger infusion made by boiling a few slices in water can help enhance digestion.
Your feelings of ghabrahat and heavy chest may relate to Vata imbalances. Incorporating calming activities such as meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) daily, even for a brief period, can significantly help. Anulom Vilom, practiced for 15-20 minutes, may calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
For fatigue and sleeplessness, consider a routine that encourages restful sleep. Begin winding down one hour before bed by reducing screen exposure and engaging in calming activities like reading or gentle yoga. Consuming a warm glass of milk with a pinch of nutmeg and turmeric half an hour before sleeping can also promote relaxation and better sleep.
Avoid caffeine, spicy, or stimulating foods in the latter part of the day. Staying well-hydrated is crucial; but ensure that water is consumed warm or at least at room temperature to avoid aggravating Vata.
Exercise, appropriately, is essential too. Simple walks during early morning or evening hours when it's cooler can balance Vata without overexerting yourself. Do consult a healthcare provider to rule out any serious underlying health conditions.
Monitoring symptoms is essential. If you feel persistent heart irregularities or chest discomfort, please seek immediate medical attention to ensure there's no underlying condition that demands urgent care. Even if Ayurveda addresses root causes, acute symptoms require professional medical assessment to prevent complications. Engaging with a local Ayurvedic practitioner can also bring more personalized guidance suited to your Prakriti (constitution) and Vikruti (imbalance).

HELLO GAURAV,
What you are describing- head heaviness, ghabrahat(anxiety like restlessness), nausea, gas/acidity, fatigue, palpitations, insomnia and fear off serious illness- is a complex but common psychosomatic imbalance or condition seen in Ayurveda. It may relate to vata-pitta imbalance with Manda agni(low digestive fire) and Manovaha Srotas (mind-body channel) vitiation.
POSSIBLE AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS
-vata pitta prakopa

-overthinking/ overstimulation
4) SLEEP REMEDIES
-drink warm milk with nutmeg before bed
- apply ksheerabala taila on soles and scalp
- keep lights dim and avoid screens 1 hour before bed
While it's most likely not heart or brain related, it's wise to rule out
-ECG or TMT for heart health
- blood pressure and sugar levels
- Vitamin b12, D3, and thyroid levels
VISIT A DOCTOR IF
-chest pain radiates to arms/jaw
