Case taken in April ’20.
C/o-
Disturbed sleep .
Came for Acidity and Eructation.
Patient: – I am suffering from gases (burps, eructation) after every meal within one hour it start burping out initially.
I was managing it, but now a days since it’s like continued with series 50, 60 to 70 eructation or more than 100, I can count it (A)
Doctor:-are you counting it really?
Patient: – No, Dr, I am just saying I can’t say how much noisy and annoying it’s become …
Doctor: – what you feel why this is happening?
Patient:-I feel from every part of my body filled with gas, wherever I touch it comes out. (And she points it out to me)
I think my meals don’t get digested, it turns into gas only, and see how I am looking now puffy, and everywhere is gas in body (B)
I was telling my sister that this gases coming from bones also, see how I have become (she was showing me how she is looking , she has put on weight) (c)
Doctor: so what you did?
Patient : I do massage over it wherever pain is ,in night if I don’t massage on my legs I can’t sleep ,even continue eructation after massages only I get sleep
Now a days, due to this heaviness, I don’t get sound sleep too feel like pressure on chest, I wake up from bed and then walk and again I try to sleep (D)
Doctors:-why this is happening?
Patient:-actually, I am only cook food in this age also I am doing all works I prepare in less oil as my husband also having diabetes and hypertension so ,I prefer less oily I even didn’t ate any testy food since 2 years almost .I felt how can all people eat everything and they don’t have any problem and I am taking care of all precautions and I still can’t eat testy food which I like the most.
My son prepared paneer dishes, I ate one bite and today I am having a blast like eructation & (she shows with pressing her throat and eructation came out).
Today, left side of throat is also burning ,something in throat ,if I press my throat and gas releases only after that, I would feel better. Last week my eyes were swollen and ,whenever I give pressure on eyes, throat, head &back my body produces gasses.
Doctor: so what have you taken for it?
Patient: Nothing, I massage, on painful parts and gas releases. I feel relief .
Doctor: Any stress now a days?
Patient: no stress but, I felt this throat pain could be big diseases?
Doctor: why are you feeling this ? Do you have any pain in the throat?
Patient: yes, too much acidity.
I think there is a problem in my stomach, if my digestion improves than this gas problem will resolve all.
I eat consciously. I eat , it turns into gas. therefore I fear eating.
If I eat I will have to sit up, pressing for gases. Then I feel sad.
I gave her ASAFOETIDA 30 (SINGLE DOSE )
Follow up : And within 3 days her eructation stopped and she could sleep she didn’t complain after that about gases and the loud eructation got absolutely better.

(E) Mind -Anxiety; Hypochondriacal
The original Greek ‘hypochondriakos’ referred to the region of the abdomen, an area that ancient doctors believed to be the seat of misery or melancholia. It stands to reason, then, that hypochondriacs are usually unhappy, simply because they always imagine they’re sick.
HYPOCHONDRIASIS
Hypochondriasis refers to excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the body’s condition despite the absence of an actual medical condition. It is a mental disorder characterized by excessive fear of or preoccupation with a serious illness, despite medical testing and reassurance to the contrary. An abnormal state characterized by emotional depression and imagined ill health, often accompanied by symptoms untraceable to any organic disease. If someone suffers from hypochondria, they continually worry about their health and imagine that they are ill, although there is really nothing wrong with them.
