Answered on 2nd Mar '25

It sounds like your grandmother may be experiencing signs of anxiety or another mental health issue, such as changes in behavior, increased talking, or irrational fears. These symptoms can be caused by various factors, including stress, illness, or cognitive changes. It's important to approach her with patience and understanding. Encouraging her to engage in calming activities, like gentle walks or relaxation exercises, can help. However, I strongly recommend consulting a psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide the appropriate care and support necessary for her well-being.

I am using inderal 10mg twice and escitalophram 10 mg daily for anxiety from last 1 year.. Now i am good last time doctor said that we will reduce yout dose and then gradually quit this medication. Now iam far away from city and cannot go there kindly suggest me how to reduce dose

Male | 22

I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

Taking alopathyic for bp. Can take ayurvedic medicines for insomnia

Male | 64

High blood pressure­ is okay if you take allopathic medicines. But mixing diffe­rent medicines without advice­ can be risky. Stress, bad slee­p habits, or health issues can cause insomnia. Warm milk or he­rbal teas may help insomnia. Tell your doctor about any ne­w treatments to stay safe and he­althy.

I was wondering if I might have something such as DID, as I have been experiencing some symptoms. 1: I have auditory hallucinatons from time to time, like people talking, or whispering my name. 2: I cannot remeber most of my childhood at all. 3: I also talk to myself a lot, like I am a different person. 4: I have visual hallucinations sometimes, like shadows in the corner of my eye 5: Also have trouble focusing sometimes 6: very impulsive sometimes 7: I also daydream alot, and usually for 30 minutes + I and my sister was verbally abused from 2016 to 2022. It stopped in 2022 because I pointed it out. My ‘alters’ aren’t so complicated they are just different aspects of myself really. Most of the time to the extreme though. Like one is me but angry, sad, etc. Once I had a bit of a dissociative fugue, when I kind of just fazed out on the bus and I came to, on the bus but at a different point in the road, and I had no memory of what had happened.

Based on the symptoms, your problem may be Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Consulting with an experienced psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, especially in the field of DID, is crucial in diagnosing and planning personalized treatment.

See a psychologist or psychiatrist as soon as possible and get treated for any possible mental health issues that may be influencing your symptoms. In addition, go to a nutritionist or dietitian and have them compose a meal plan which will be a part of a healthy weight maintenance.

Panic attacks can be caused by anxiety, stress, or underlying health conditions. To manage panic attacks, try relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

A burning he­ad and shivering is hard. These signs may come­ from your meds. Some pills can make muscle­s stiff and make you shake. Tell your doctor about the­se troubles - they might change­ your medicine to help. It's ke­y to report new issues while­ on medication.
