Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have indigestion like symptoms every now and then but early in eating rather than after. Like a twisting of oesophagus . Sometimes associated with eating rice. Very painful and alleviated primarily if can burp it out . 54 yrs woman otherwise excellent health
First of all, do not panic. I will suggest you get vitamin B 12 levels checked, also get a clinical examination done to know about Thyroid gland status. Also, a oesophageal and gastroscopy can be done to know about any structural pathology in the esophagus.
Please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements regularly. Opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Avoid refined sugars and deep-fried foods and bakery products in the diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
