If indigestion is not relieved after making these changes, your doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms. Because indigestion is a symptom rather than a disease, treatment usually depends upon the underlying condition causing the indigestion.
What are some tips to manage indigestion?
If you have indigestion from another disease, you may want to learn about that disease and how to manage it. By doing so, you actually reduce the risk of indigestion.
Indigestion often gets better by making positive life changes. Here are some tips for controlling indigestion:
Keep a healthy weight
Obesity makes it easier for stomach acid to be pushed up into your oesophagus. Keeping a healthy weight by regular exercise and having a healthy diet can reduce indigestion.
You can reduce the amount of fatty food, spicy food or anything that contains caffeine such as coffee, tea or coke to prevent indigestion.
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol
Chemicals in cigarette and alcohol can make your oesophagus splinter relaxed, allowing acid reflux.
Have a good bedtime routine
Avoid eating 3-4 hours before going to bed. While you are lying down, the oesophagus is much more relaxed. Eating food before bedtime will make our stomach produce acid, increasing the risk of acid reflux.
Putting a couple of pillows to prop your head or shoulder up can prevent stomach acid moving up your digestive tract while you are asleep.
