General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, I really appreciate your concern. Early satiety after initiatation of meal can be due to gastritis and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. There may be chest burn, discomfort below ribs on left side, stomach pain, nausea, difficulty in swallowing, decreased appetite etc. Symptoms can be aggravated by lying down.
I advise you to have proton pump inhibitor medicine along with anti-reflux medicine. Avoid oily and spicy food items in meal. Height of bed on head side should be raised. Avoid sleeping withing 2 hours of meals. You can have a 10 minutes walk after each meal.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
