It’s very common for mental distress to manifest as physical symptoms: what we call the mind-body connection. Your nervous system is likely in a state of 'high alert,' which affects everything from your sleep to your digestion.
As a psychiatrist, I look at the whole picture. Your physical health, your environment, and your neurochemistry. Understanding these links is the first step toward relief. I invite you to a consultation where we can break down these symptoms scientifically and build a management plan that works for your specific lifestyle."

Sleep is restorative. Lack of sleep causes both short term as well as long term effects over our physical and mental well being. Consult for further discussion and management.

Hello, I can understand the distress this must be causing you. The goal is to fix the gut first, because digestion and sleep strongly influence each other. Here are a few steps -
1. Fix the Constipation because it can directly cause bloating, acidity, and poor sleep.
Fiber: 20–25 g/day
Warm water in the morning (1–2 glasses).
Isabgol (psyllium husk) 1–2 tsp in warm water at bedtime.
If needed: short-term osmotic laxative like Lactulose at night
