Answered on 8th July '24

If you take propranolol before skydiving, that might not be safe. Before such a high-energy activity the drug may slow down your pulse and lower blood pressure, which is risky. During acute stress situations such as this one it is necessary for the heart to beat fast so as to supply enough oxygen into the muscles thus enabling them carry out their functions effectively.

I am 24 years girl appeared for MBA final. Recently I had some sort of panic attack. My pulse rate went up to around 150 and was feeling heaviness in chest. I got relief after vomiting. This happened for conservative two days. Now I am ok but don't know if it can occur again. What could be the possible cause and remedy for it.

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. Seeking support from a mental health professional is important for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

What would happen if I take 3 yellow betapam pills at once

Female | 19

Taking 3 yellow be­tapam pills at once is extreme­ly risky. Betapam treats anxiety disorde­rs. But overdosing can induce seve­re dizziness, exce­ssive sleepine­ss, and dangerously slowed breathing – a se­rious overdose situation requiring urge­nt medical attention. Neve­r exceed your doctor's re­commended dosage.

I have short term memory issues..I forgot what I have studied..I am a student.. currently preparing for competitive exam ..does it safe to take ritalin like addwize 18mg for memory and concentration

Male | 30

Short-term memory problems happen because of stress, chronic sleep deprivation, or low concentration. Instead of taking medication like Ritalin or Addwize, it's better to focus on healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating well, and practicing relaxation techniques. Besides that, you can try memory techniques such as list-making or flashcards to remember information effectively.

I feel a heavy heart, I get nervous while working, I am unable to understand things.To be firm, to sometimes be right, to not be unstable in mind

Male | 26

Experiencing tightness in your chest, jumping around, and becoming nervous while working is usually the result of tension or anxiety, which may cause your concentration to be muddled and leave you feeling incapacitated. To acknowledge and accept these emotions might be one of the most important things you can do. Try self-help techniques such as meditation or mindfulness to destress your mind. Daily physical exercises and a good diet can make you a happier and clearer person. If they continue to occur and get worse, I recommend you talk to your family doctor who will offer you qualified help and guidance.

i dont eat in the mornings because im not hungry so i eat in the afternoon but i eat a little. and at night i eat a little

Female | 40

Your irregular e­ating habits can negatively impact your well-be­ing. Morning hunger leads to sluggishness and lack of focus. Me­ager afternoon and eve­ning meals deprive your body of vital nutrie­nts. Aim for balanced meals containing fruits, veggie­s, proteins, and carbs throughout the day.

You have been under a lot of pressure and are feeling stressed. Being very tired, short-tempered, or feeling a headache can be the symptoms of burnout. Nebulousness claims how harmful burnout can be. Enriching oneself with a plethora of activities can change the quality of your life. Explore the way you feel with someone you can trust.

Sar main class 12th ka student hun aur Mujhe hastmaithun ka Lat Lag Gaya Hai jisse Hamari padhaai bhi अच्छे Se Nahin Ho Pa rahi hai to Sar Koi upay bataiye

To reduce or quit excessive masturbation, gradually reduce frequency, identify triggers, and find alternative activities to occupy your time. Establish a daily routine, limit access to triggering materials, and practice relaxation techniques to manage stress. Seek support from friends or a therapist, and remember that occasional masturbation is normal. If needed, consider professional help. Breaking the habit takes time and patience, so be kind to yourself
