How to treat indigestion and heaviness in the upper stomach?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am struggling with indigestion and feel something heavy in my upper stomach. I am not feeling hungry and am eating less diet that includes rice, water, and khichdi (porridge). I visited a doctor who prescribed Robidoc, Aciloc, and Livonic syrup. However, I have had no improvement; instead, I had vomiting after having food and taking the Robidoc medicine. I still feel something heavy in my upper stomach region, and this problem has been around for the last nine days. Also, I have a history of naval displacement. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Treatment plan

For treatment, I suggest to take five pieces of black pepper and a half teaspoon of crushed ginger. Boil it in 1.5 fl oz of water. You can add a pinch of rock salt. Drink thrice a day and have it before food. It helps to improve your appetite.

Preventive measures

For prevention, I suggest the following: 1. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried junk foods. 2. Drink lukewarm water always. 3. Eat whenever you are hungry. 4. Do regular exercise, kapalbhati, and pranayam like anulom vilom, nadi shodhan, and bhramari.

Regarding follow up

Follow the above instructions and provide your valuable feedback after three days.
