Hello,
As your bowel movements would have caused due to
indigestion. Consume more water, take
ranitidine before the food to avoid such indigestion issues.
Usually taking regular Basic blood pressure and diabetic medicine if any may lead to indigestion some times not always. Also having food which is high in fibre or protein may also lead to one.
As your age it 74 there may be reduced
metabolism and it can also be a cause. Doing regular exercise should help improve metabolism.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases of geriatric complain indigestion problem and due to this the
tiredness the next day and sleepless nights.
Taking them into the geriatric
rehabilitation program has helped improve the overall lifestyle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
