Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXX
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
I am answering the questions in the sequence you asked them,
1) I am unable to see your location but I suggest you see a gastroenterologist in your vicinity, if not available then can see a physician.
2) Indigestion is a common problem which may be caused by multiple causes.
Some people refer acidity, bloating, gas, distention, constipation or loose stools as ingestion. But mostly they are related to food habits, life style, sleeping pattern or even sometime infections in stomach.
3) Constipation is usually related to reduced dietary fibre intake like vegetables, salads, reduced water intake, sedentary lifestyle.
if you correct these factors it should improve.
4) Lifestyle modification will help you. (treatment)
1) Eating on time
2) Taking adequate sleep
3) Regular walking
4) Avoiding sleep 2 hours after meals
5) Cutting down on stress and anxiety
6) Plenty of pure drinking water intake (3 to 4 litre a day)
All this will help you to control symptoms in long run.
Also in addition seeing a gastroenterologist and doing some basic tests like thyroid examination (TSH), Stool examination will help you.
If there is associated weight loss and worsening symptoms you may need a colonoscopy.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.
