Prothom Alo on the symptoms, causes and remedies of such diseases is organized by SKF dedicated special health program ‘Ezoral Maps Health Dialogue’. This episode of the show discusses anxiety and heartburn. Dr. Tamanna Chowdhury, Principal Dietitian, Evercare Hospital, Dhaka was the guest of honor at the function. Abu Naim
Associate Professor. Abu Naim said that what people usually mean by gastric or peptic ulcer is called peptic ulcer in the language of medicine. This problem is largely psychological. In general, the human stomach emits a certain amount of gas. This is a normal process. This can also cause heartburn sometimes. Many ordinary people in our country think that he is suffering from peptic ulcer only when he has heartburn or gas.
Adding anxiety to this increases the acidity even more. Because, anxiety creates anxiety. For this you must first know about the symptoms and causes of this disease. There will be pain in the upper and middle part of the abdomen. It will feel like burning. The only way to get rid of this pain is to take antacids. The pain of ulcers after eating depends on the exact location of the disease. In case of gastric ulcer, abdominal pain may increase immediately after eating. In case of duodenal ulcer, abdominal pain increases after a few hours of eating.
And if stomach pain starts immediately after eating, it is a sign of ulcer. Constipation and nausea. Exhaustion surrounds. It usually seems like this before vomiting. If you want to get rid of it, you have to change your lifestyle without taking unnecessary drugs. Eating disorders also need to be changed. Some days you play at noon, some days you don’t play, some days you play at 9 o’clock, some days you play at 12 o’clock at night, some days you go to sleep without eating. These issues need to be fixed. Secondly, if you have a bad habit of smoking cigarettes, drink, rose, leaf, if you have a habit of eating these, then these should also be stopped gradually.
Associate Professor at this stage of the program. Abu Naim talks about headaches and migraines. Because, at this time in Corona, everyone from young to old is getting addicted to mobile phone, tab, computer or TV and they have to sit in front of their gadget for work. So the problem of headache or migraine is seen anew.
Associate Professor. Abu Naim said it was not clear why the migraine occurred. It is more common in women than men. Starting from any one side of the head, it often causes pain in the whole head. This disrupts normal blood flow to the brain. Eating too much chocolate, cheese, coffee, etc., birth control pills, anxiety, excessive travel, exercise, insomnia, watching TV for a long time, working on the computer for a long time, talking on the mobile phone, etc. can cause this disease.
Stress, anxiety, constipation, too bright light aggravate the disease.
Headache, nausea are the main symptoms of this disease. However, symptoms such as excessive yawning, distraction, nausea, etc. may occur even before the onset of headaches. The pain starts from any part of the head. Later it spread all over the head. Feelings of pain may form behind the eyes. I don’t like sound and light.
Sometimes excessive noise and light can increase the pain. Migraine treatment requires immediate and preventive medication as well as adherence to certain rules. Sleep at a certain time every day and it should be moderate. Do not stay in front of computer monitor and TV for a long time. Drink plenty of water. Do not work in excess or low light. Avoid harsh sun or severe cold. Don’t stay in a loud and noisy environment for long.
