It is a normal physiological response during pregnancy. In such cases, it is essential to ensure good indoor air circulation and maintain a light diet recently. Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions at once. Symptoms typically ease naturally by the end of the third month of pregnancy. Currently, no specific treatment is required. After eating, avoid lying down immediately; instead, remain active for a while.
