Pressure in Head after eating
I have pressure in head from a long time. I get these pressures when I eat food, most of the times 2 hours approx. after the meal in the afternoon. My stomach's bloat and once gas is passed from my anus, its starts fading away and I can see some relief. Earlier It was the whole head, now mostly on right side and sometime in the left as well. I went multiple doctors including psychiatry, Gastro, Endocrinologist etc. I dont have any stomach problems, stools are OK. But passing of gas is more. The main worry is pressure in the head which fades once I have a bowel movement or gas is passed from anus. Can anyone help me please?

Your symptoms are suggestive of gastritis. You will require antacids to control the gastric effect. The following steps may help:
- Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day
- Exercise regularly (30-45mins a day and maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI)
