Indigestion: Do's and Don'ts

Ever feel discomfort in the upper middle part of the abdomen, sort of feeling bloated, nausea, then the uncontrollable burping came, and heartburn? These kind of feelings are often associated with belching wind. If you do, then you may be experiencing indigestion which usually results from eating too much, eating too quickly, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations.

During this time, you also feel kind of feverish, in other word, not fun! Trust me, i know. Because i just had one of these yesterday. So, what did i do and didn't do? Allow me to share it with you.

Do's

1. Do work out what foods make the pain worse and avoid them.

2. Do avoid alcohol.

3. Do avoid stress.

4. Do raise the head of your bed or stack up a few pillows under your head.

Don'ts

1. Don't skip your meal.

2. Don't smoke.

3. Don't stoop and bend.

4. Don't take aspirin or any drug containing it because aspirin irritates the stomach.

It may sound simple but it helped me a lot. These are valuable simple guidelines.
