Hello Anup,To address acidity and indigestion, consider incorporating Triphala into your routine, as it aids digestion and helps balance gastric acid levels. You may also benefit from herbal preparations like Ginger and Ajwain (carom seeds), which are known for their digestive properties. Consuming fennel seeds after meals can help reduce bloating and gas. It's essential to maintain a diet that includes plenty of fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, while avoiding spicy, fried, and overly processed foods that can aggravate acidity. For heartburn, ensure that you eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large meals to avoid overwhelming your digestive system. Drinking warm water or herbal teas, such as Chamomile or Peppermint, may provide relief. Managing panic attacks often requires a holistic approach. Incorporate relaxation techniques such as yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) into your daily routine to help reduce stress and anxiety. Practices like Bhramari and Nadi Shodhana can be particularly beneficial for calming the mind. Since you have diabetes and hypertension, it’s crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to ensure that any changes you make do not interfere with your medications. Always monitor your blood sugar and blood pressure regularly.

Alright, let's dig into this. Seems there's a lot goin' on here with acidity, indigestion, heartburn and even panic attacks! With diabetes and hypertension in the mix, it's important to find a balance, you know? For acidity and indigestion, the actual root might be in your digestive fire, or agni, not being strong enough. Try sipping warm water, like really often, through the day. You might also wanna look into making some fresh ginger tea—grate a small bit of ginger, boil it in water, and sip it half an hour before meals. This helps improve digestion big time! Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods as they tend to aggravate pitta dosha making heartburn worse. Eating more frequent, smaller meals could help; don't let that stomach get too empty or too full. Also, try sitting in vajrasana for a few minutes after meals, it's one yoga pose that can aid digestion. When you mention panic attacks, breathing can really be your friend here. Consider doing some pranayama—simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) every morning. Sitali pranayama could help calm that pitta fiery nature too. Diabetes and hypertension need some care for sure. Watch that salt intake for the BP, using herbs like coriander or cumin instead. With your sugar, keeping the kapha balanced is key—avoid heavy or overly sweet foods. A fiber-rich diet with lots of veggies can actually do wonders. Remember, whether it’s changes or herbal remedies, always check in with your doctor given your meds. Don’t swap or add anything new without their nod. And if panic attacks get frequent or severe, do see a professional for more support. You've got this, just take it one step at a time, alright?
