Retired Marketing firm head from Tamil Nadu got complete relief from Gastritis.
An older man aged 70 years. (Patient ID: 44369) who worked as marketing head for many years retired a few years ago from Tamil Nadu, and approached Life Force Homeopathy on New Year''s Eve in 2022 because he had been dealing with stomach problems for 5 years. He was experiencing bloating, heartburn after eating spicy food, indigestion, and occasional stomach pain. Sometimes he would even throw up a little bit of food, especially during bad episodes. These episodes were happening 1-2 times a day and would last for 1-2 hours, mostly at night. His condition had been getting worse over the past 6 months. The man tested positive for H-pylori, a bacterium that can cause stomach issues. He was on antacids daily for a few months.
During the consultation, we gathered a comprehensive history of the patient's past and current treatments, along with any previous health issues. We inquired in detail about his family medical history, noting that his mother had dementia and there is a significant history of cancer among his ancestors. Additionally, we carefully documented the patient’s mental and physical symptoms to gain a thorough understanding of their overall health concerns and their underlying causes.
Physical Generals:
The person didn't eat non-veg and was vegetarian by habit and his appetite was on the reduced side. He usually drank 2-3 Liters of water every day and had no urinary issues. His bowel movements were regular. He didn't like hot or cold weather and had average perspiration. His sleep was sound and preferred sleeping on his back.
The patient had a happy childhood and a supportive family. He was a mild, gentle, and polite person, but he was very anxious about his health. Sometimes he would become irritable, especially when things didn't go his way. He also had a fear that something bad would happen to him. His intellectual abilities were also assessed, and his memory, perception, intelligence, logic, and analysis were all good.
Dr. Shah carefully reviewed the patient's complete medical history and then prescribed medications accordingly. Additionally, the patient received a personalized diet plan, useful resources, and videos related to his specific medical condition.
