Of Late, There Is A Lack Of Physical Activity Due

Posted on Mon, 4 May 2020

Question: Of late, there is a lack of physical activity due to work from home in the lockdown period. I have been observing the gastric problem these days. I used to play shuttle/table tennis at least for 30-45mins daily. If I skip it for a few days then also I observed similar symptoms. One more thing is if food intake is delayed then I am feeling anxiety and it goes off as soon as I take food. After having food I get a lot of burps.

I would like to request for medication and suggestions to change the lifestyle to overcome this gastric problem. If possible provide a list of foods/items that needs to be excluded/included for this problem.

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Can reduced dose of razo d and take pantocid d (20 + 10 mg) before dinner and sos in morning if required. its is half dose of razo d.
Taking full dose antacid is not good in long run.
SUggest try following things which will help you to control symptoms in long run,
1. eat on time
2. exercise regularly (indoor as much as possible)
3. develop some hobbies
4. go for regular walk
5. sleep adequately for 8 hrs
6. avoid stress
7. don't self medicate yourself with medication
8. drink plenty of cleaner water
9. do some yoga and mind relaxation techniques
10. avoid tea, coffee, aerated drinks, smoking, alcohol if any. Also avoid citrus food like oranges, sweet lime, lemon etc.
11. dont sleep or lye down 2 hrs after meals

all this will help you in long run.
hope this answers your query.
happy to help
wish you a speedy recovery.

Hello Doctor,

Thank you for your reply and suggestions.
I have few clarifications about the suggested medication.
1) Is there any specific time gap to be maintained between taking the tablet and dinner? I did not understand what sos in the morning means.
2) Do I need to take this tablet as a course for certain duration or only when facing the problem?
3) Can I take moderate amounts of fried food or avoid it completely and also how about seeds and grains?

Please advise.

I will try my level best to follow the points mentioned in your response.

Thanks,
Murali.

Thank you for your query.
Answer to them
1) 20 minutes is time gap between night medicine and dinner.
2) sos means as an when required or when symptoms arise.
3) now since you will be reducing dose from razo d to pantocid d you can take it for 3 weeks and then stop and see.
4) excess oily spicy need to be avoided but in moderation ok. no issues with seeds and grain can take them.
Best wishes.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
