Suggest Medication For Indigestion And Headache

default
Posted on Thu, 10 Dec 2015
Question: Dear Doctor,

I am male aged 43 yrs vegetarian and residing in XXXXXXX Since 1996 I am suffering from acute Indigestion problem followed by severe headache. Almost all every now and then I am facing these problems.
Secondly, stool is free. When I wake up first i go to motion. I get free motion and I don't have the problem of gas, pain in the stomach, burning in the stomach. Nothing like that.

Main thing is indigestion. I feel heaviness in the stomach and immediately headache occurs. Then I take Rantac 150 mg twice followed by combiflam. If the problem does not subsides i will take 3 more rantac and one more combiflam. But gradually the problem will fade away. During this period I am not in a position to take food.

KINDLY SUGGEST EXACT MEDICINE WHICH CURES INDIGESTION AND HEADACHE.
Also I don't take outside food. I go to hotel once in a month or so and that too being a South XXXXXXX I just have Idli, Dosa etc.

I am a Central Government employee [purely sedentary lifestyle in the office] and the working hours from 9.00 AM in the morning but evening depends on the boss. Normally we leave office at about 7.30 pm.

The fact is even though it is a sedentary job, I do the exercises like this [Monday: Physical Exercises, Tuesday: Yoga, Pranayam and Meditation, Wednesday: Jogging and like- wise next three days and sunday take off. I take good food. Morning and afternoon I will take chapatis with pure vegetables evening: fruits and night: rice. I take plenty of water about 5-6 ltrs in a day.

I drink beer or something once in a while. Because all these are fermented. If I take beer or hot, immediately I will prone to vomit. That's why I avoid. Also I don't have any habit of tobacco etc. As far as spicy foods are concerned only sometimes we will take. As far as tea and coffee are concerned. I will take one cup of tea in the morning and green tea in day time.

I dont have any constipation problem also during the life time’

I don't have any piles/ fissures etc.

KINDLY GO THROUGH THIS AND SUGGEST SUITABLE MEDICINEES PLEASE.
Third thing Doctor,
I have been suffering from Anxiety Disorder and Depression since childhood. I am on regular medication since 1996. My height is 5'10"and weight is 80 kigs. After using psychiatric medicines I gained weight 20 kgs.

For Anxiety and Depression I have been taking three times in a day almost 10 tablets.

As far as food is concerned triggering one is dal (all types) and milk products.

I like milk products but even a glass of milk also not digest for me.

ONE MORE THING IS MY FOOD TAKING IS IRREGULAR. ONE DAY I TAKE HEAVY MEALS AFTER THAT BECAUSE OF HEAVINESS I COMPLETELY STOP TAKING FOOD. MEANS IRREGULAR DIET HABITS

FINALLY KINDLY PRESCRIBE ME WHAT TESTS TO BE DONE. SECONDLY FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF SUGGEST MEDICINES FOR INDIGESTION AND HEADACHE.

Brief Answer:
take a proton pump inhibitor along with a prokinetic agent

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for putting your query in hcm.

I can understand your concerns. Thanks for giving detailed description of the symptoms about diet and lifestyle. There is no alarming features at all.

For indigestion I will suggeat you to take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone before breakfast. Also take capsule of simethicone thrice in a day and capsule containing mebevarine twice in a day before meals. I found these combination of drugs very useful in my patients. Also avoid pea, cabbage and rice as they produce lots of gas.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health.

Brief Answer:
take syrup ranidom- o sos

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

I am sorry, there is no option to attach a prescription on this forum. Morevoer medical ethics doesn't allow to send a prescription without physical examination.

However in this circumstances I would start
Cap Razo- d once daily before breakfast
Cap medigas thrice daily
Cap mebiz-sr 200mg 1/2 hr before meals
In case the problem persists, then I would add syrup Ranidom- O 3 teaspoon as and when required.

You can discuss with your local doctor for a prescription.

I hope I have answered your query. If you dont have any further query then close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you a good health
