The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Esophagitis made my life worst.

I was suffering from Chest pain in the early morning in the bed. I approached to a Doctor and Esophagitis(GERD) has been confirmed after an Endoscopy. It was decleared two years back. I was given medicines for controlling the situation. But consuming those allopathy medicines are temporary. I am taking all kind of precautions in my food habits. Before suffering from Esophagitis, I used to consume alcohols frequently. But I have stopped completely after that. Now I use to wait for two hours after my dinner everynight. This is little bit useful to me. After taking all these precautions, Esophagitis made my life horrible early in the morning. Some of my friends suggested me to go for Homeopathy and before going to local Homeopathy doctors I would like to know the opinion of professional homeopath thru this forum.
As of now - What I can feel is, after sleeping for three to four hours, my stomach generates ample amount of air and that air accumulates somewhere in my stomach. As a result my chest pain starts and ufffff..... Probably this air get stuck inside my stomach since I am in lying position. Once I get up and start walking or drink plenty of water I get an air-burst and feel relief. One another effective way is - if I stay vertical for an hour or so, I feel a great relief and can go for second round of my sleep. So far I can understand, this creation of air is due to indigestion which is the main culprite. I am sure I made my life miserable by consuming alcohols and cigerattes which I already stopped long back. But now I want to live comfortably... Is there any Homeopathy medicines that can help me out ? Pls suggest.

Dr. Deoshlok Sharma
 
deoshlok last decade
1. Name : Debajit
2. Age : 30
3. Sex : Male
4. country : Delhi, India
5. climate : Delhi is located in the northern part of the India and extends latitude 28.38°N and longitude 77.12°E. The

climate of Delhi is hot and humid in the summers and cold in the winters. The average temperature ranges from 25°C to 46°C

during summer and 2°C to 5°C during winter. The cold wave from the Himalayan region makes winters very chilly. In summers,

the heat wave is immense and adequate precaution has to be taken before going out in the afternoons.

6. What exactly is happening ?
Well, let me start from the very begining so that it may answer many of the following. Basically I belong from Assam, famous

for greenary and hill stations. Climate of Assam is Humid throughout the year, heavy rain fall during summar. Temperature

varies from 40C in extream summar and 20C in the winter. I was born on 29th July 1975 and was there in Assam till the age of

24 years. During that period I have completed my B.Tesh degree in Computer Science and Engg. From my childhood I was a good

athelate. I was neither fat nor lean and thin till my 27-28 years of age, simply smart athelatic physique. So far I can

remember, I was suffering from cronic Giardia from my childhood. At the age of 13-14 I was suffering from enlargement of

Spleen and Liver. I can remember taking liver support in my childhood. Even sometimes I do take liver support now and then. I

was given Homeopathy medicines for the same. Pls note - I am not sure about the current status in both the cases. From 93

till 99 I was in College hostel. In 93, I was suffering from mild Jaundice and took food precautions for six months. Food

quality of my hostel was not good and I developed the Gastric problem from then and there only. It was very severe and I

started vomiting intentionally by drinking large amount of water in empty stomach in the morning. It gives me relief to a

great extent. The frequency of vomiting was once in a week. Pls note - I use to do the same even now when I found Gastric is

troubling me to an unbearable extent. During my stay in the hostel, I developed the habit of smoking and boozing. 3-5

cigarettes a day and alcohol once in a week. Although frequency of Alcohol was less, but I did heavy drinking at one time. It

is being 2-3 years, I have completely stopped the habit of smoking and boozing. I would like to mention one important point

here is - If I do proper exercise then I can digest everything without any problem. Since I am having Spina Bifida at L5,

there is a restriction in doing exercise. This spina-bifida was discovered from a sports event while I was 20. Pls note I do

consume mild pain killers like voveran, Nemusiloid etc, if I feel unbearable pain in my back. But it is very rare - I mean

countable number of times till now. I suffered from Typhoid once at the age of 22 years. So this is all about my history.

Lastly - I could not get rid of taking Tobacco till date, I use to take it in the form of Pan but it is very less in amount.

Now let us talk about what the endoscopy(UGIE) report says about my problem: I did it twice till now.
19:06:2004 - Grade A esophagitis. Z line at 35 cm. Heatus Hernia 5cm in size.
Medecines : a) RABELOC (20mg) 1 BD b) MOZA (5mg) 1BD. This was continued for around six months.
21:04:2005 - Mild Oesophagitis, Erosion in Duodenum.
Medecines : a) Gatiflox 400 1 tab once daily * 7 days.
b) Pantopac 40 1 tab twice daily before food * 10 days.

7. How do you feel ? I can observe different feelings at different point of time. At the beginning of this disease, I felt

burning sensation mixed with pain in the chest early in the morning. Burning increases with time if I remain sleeping.

Earlier this was the case when I booze at night. Although the burning sensation vanishes in the day time, I can feel the pain

deep inside my chest everytime. This pain can not be touched from outside by pressing or messaging. In some particular

position I feel it and breathing deeply touches the pain area. It is total persisting pain, lasts for a week. Gradually the

frequency of such sleepless nights increased unconditionally. Then I approached to a Doctor and it was confirmed Esophagitis.

Pls note the type of pain I was feeling at the begining is not the same as of now. I mean position of the pain keeps on

changing from time to time.Currently I am getting the pain beneath the third button of my formal shirt.

8. How does this affect you ? This affects me in many ways - First of all I feel very depressed spending painfull nights in a

calm and quite environment. Everyone is sleeping except me. Neighter can I sleep nor I can play a music at that time. If I

could not complete my sleep during the night - you can very well imagine how I will perform during the day. It is not a one

day event, almost regular. Sometimes I feel like loosing my memorizing capacity, confidence, patience. I become very prone to

commit mistake in my daily routine works.


9. How does it feel like ? I think this is already explained.

10. What comes to your mind ? Very often I go thru the topics on Esophagitis in the internet. Every topic says that

Esophagitis might cause cancer in the long run. This makes me depressed. I want to live more life with my small daughter as

long as possible.

11. One situation that had a big effect on you ? Yap, I can tell u one situation which I feel the prime cause of this

disease. It was during the year 2003-04. I started gaining weight and all my trousers became small to me. I can not tell you

the exact gain but my west size became 35 inchs from 30. Here I would like to mention that my height is 5 feet 9 inchs and

current weight is arround 67 kgs, 32 inchs west. So I took three steps to reduce my weight. 1) started swimming for 1-2 hrs

every evening. 2) drinking excessive lemon water after every meal and 3) skipping the breakfast ie having lunch and the

dinner only. After continuing this habit for two to three months - I developed this trouble. Pls note - I feel this was the

prime cause but not sure.

12. How did that feel like ? after sleeping for four to five hours, my stomach generates ample amount of air and that air

accumulates somewhere in my stomach. As a result my chest pain starts and ufffff..... Probably this air get stuck inside my

stomach since I am in lying position. Once I get up and start walking or drink plenty of water I get an air-burst and feel

relief. One another effective way is - if I stay vertical for an hour or so, I feel a great relief and can go for second

round of my sleep. Pls note I do not get this pain when I usually take nap for an hr or two during the day time in the

weekends, even though I go for sleep just after the lunch. Probably this is due to small duration of sleep.


13. What sensation do you experience in that situation ? Burning inside my chest which increases with time if I remain in

lying position. And pain in the chest while changing lying positions, even to get up from bed. This generally happens after

sleeping for four to five hours.

14. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand. ? Failed to understand what should I write here.

15. current medicine you are taking : Apart from what mentioned previously, Once I took 20 teblet course of Pantop-HP. It has

proved a good result but again temporary. So I use to take antacids, uniengyme and Eno now and then without any prescription

when situation demands.

16. family back ground : In my paternal side, there is no instance of cancer, blood pressure or diabatese. But the Gestric

problem is almost common. In my maternal side there is instances of diabatese and blood pressure. but no cancer, no Gestric

problem.

17. qualification of patient : Computer Science and Engineering.

18. Nature of working : Being a Softwate professional, I use to Seat infront of computer for more than 8 hours in a day. Use

to Drive my car for 20-30 kms(average) a day in busy road.

19. desire and aversion of food : I dont have desire for any particular type of food. I can live with any food, but

preferably plain rice as a principle food, although it becomes a must for me now as it creates less trouble to me. I can eat

any amount of fruits and I like that. I am fond of egg, fish and chicken. Rest I avoid junk food, beverage, alcohol, soft

drinks, coffe, chocolates, mutton etc.

20. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient…and so.. on and how you are peculiar from other person, public

speaking or not , you can describe all the detail about behavior, love and affection. If any secret thing or can not want to

discus at forum then you can share your talk directly to email by clicking on your any forum doctor. For a good prescription

mental detail is must be and try to email of photographs of the diseases part.(if required)

Well, by nature I am a very easy-going and jolly kind of person. I am always helpful to others. I can claim - any person

introduced to me, can never forget me, easily trusts me and makes friendship with me. I am very free and frank and I do

expect the same from others as well. I am too emotional sometimes. I am a good public speaker, listener. I do participate in

cultural activities. I Like listening music, singing songs, watching TV and do painting. I rarely get angry, I am having well

control over it, but my anger affects my mind, feelings, attentions, decisions and everywhere. I never explode in anger,

always think and react. I can bear irritation to a great extent. My speed of work is good. I am having very less patience.

Even decreasing day by day. I love the one whom i feel genuine. My behaviour is always good to all regardless of my likeness.

Sometimes remain confused as well.


21. Aggravation & Amelioration
Aggravation : Alcohol, cofee, any spicy food, soft drinks, meat in the dinner,
Amelioration : The most important is Water. Milk in the day time, plain rice, anything fryed with minimum oil, fruits,

visitable.

Lastly, I have the medical reports, films with me. If required I can send scanned copy of these. Pls let me know if required

along with how to send them.

what about your thirst
desire for cold water or hot water.
dr.deoshlok sharma
 
deoshlok last decade
Dear dr.deoshlok sharma,

## what about your thirst ?
Nothing special to mention here. It is quite normal. I do feel thirsty and drink plenty of water. One thing I can mention here is - if I drink more than enough water in empty stomach, I get kick. Sometimes I dont even feel thirsty if I remain very busy with work. After a long time when it happend to drink water, then I can realize the thirst and get it satisfied !

## desire for cold water or hot water.
I prefer water at room temperature or slightly lower than that. Dont like hot water and chilled water !

Dear Joe De Livera,

Thank you so much dear, definitely I will post all my ststus after a month using the dose given by Dr. deoshlok.
Thanks once again in advance.
 
devzit last decade
Dear dr.deoshlok sharma,

Today I have completed one month with your medicines. I took three drops of Nitr Acid 10m in the morning on every Sunday. I was very regular about the timings for medicines last month. The result is positive, I am getting relief to a great extent. But in the dawn say arround 5 am, I feel little stiffness in my chest and feel the pain while changing the sleeping position. What I can say is - earlier I feel a great pain after sleeping for 3 hrs and now I feel little pain after sleeping for 5 hrs. But this little pain is enough to break my sleep.
So this is my report after one month. I am really thankful to you for the same. BTW, my stock of medicine has finished today. So pls let me know further course of medicines. I will be greatful if you advise me how to take the medicines like - in liquid form (no of drops) or in table form(no of tablets)etc etc. Thanks in advance.

Dear dr.deoshlok sharma,

I have completed one week with "Bryonia alba 6". I am feeling the same. This time I experianced Air accumulation inside my stomach while sleeping. It seems little Gas formation inside. Currently I am taking care in food habits, and lifted my bed two inches. and stopped drinking water just after the dinner. I use to have a gap of atleat 1 - 2 hrs after the dinner and before going to bed.Pls advise me for future medicines and habits. Thank you in advance.
 
devzit last decade
single dose of wel chosen remedy will give proper response --as long as all remaining causative and blocking circumstances are removed ...unnecessary repetition is uncalled for---this is not allopathy using dynamic drugs---there is nothing to force--expect doc to retake case --access and admonister --and look if life style is contrary to cure..

Dear John Stanton,

I am really in distress. Since last three days, I have been suffering from chest pain severely. Believe me, I am scared of sneezing as it expands my chest. I am sure, this is because I have stopped the medicines prescribed by dr. deoslok sharma. Pls help me, here are the answers to your queries -
1)what first date start taking pain killers for vertebrae pain? Please explain.
Although I can’t remember the exact date, but I can recollect as 1995-96. Pls note, I was always pessimistic regarding painkillers. So I used to have painkillers in an extreme situation ONLY. Say for example - I need to go somewhere to meet somebody and am suffering from vertebrae pain. I have two options in my hand - take a pain killer beforehand and attend the meeting and secondly cancel the program. I always went for the second until and unless avoiding the meeting results some catastrophes. As I already mentioned, I took painkillers very few number of times, not more than 100 times during last 10-11 years.

2) What treatment used for jaundice in 1999? Please explain.
No medicine at all. The stroke was not that severe, so I took precautions and some catalytic foodstuff like - curd, sugar cane juice, and some locally prepared ayurvedic medicines, I can't tell you now what were those. Moreover stopped some food items like oil, milk, meat, spice, junk food etc. I took complete boiled stuffs (without oil) for nearly six months after that stroke.

Dear Joe De Livera,

As you told, Pls forward your advice to get it cured. Thank you in advance.
 
devzit last decade
did you start boozing and smoking in college before the gastric problem occurred or after--when living atthe hostel?
 
John Stanton last decade
Dear John Stanton,

Thanks for your prompt response. I can remember, I boozed for the first time on Feb 1995. That was my horrible experience - I drunk whisky without diluting and felt unconscious for 24 hrs. I vomited for 7 times. Ohh no !! Pls note - that was the first and the last time that I boozed concentrated alcohol. And I started smoking little bit earlier to this. May be by the end of 1994.
 
devzit last decade
how long after exactly did gastric problem start after the boozing(feb 95)?please explain
