After waking up from a nightmare­, feeling uneasy is normal. Your he­art rate may increase quickly be­cause your body thinks the danger is near. This re­action, though unsettling, typically subsides as you regain composure­. However, if these­ occurrences persist fre­quently, discussing them with a psychiatrist would be advisable. Nightmares can some­times reflect unde­rlying concerns that require atte­ntion.

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.

Female | 24

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.

These might be caused by something deep under the sadness or anxiety. I suggest that you see a medical doctor or a licensed counselor who can help you in this way.

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?

Male | 25

One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

I can't sleep all night. But I sleep all day. It's been going on for 16 years. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of it?

Male | 36

Your symptoms might be due to a condition called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. This happens when your body clock gets out of sync, causing you to feel sleepy during the day and awake at night. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep at night and feeling tired during the day. To improve this, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid bright screens before bed, and try to spend time outdoors in sunlight.

Anxiety issue, dizzineaa, palpitation, depression

Female | 28

Anxiety, dizziness, palpitations, and depression can be tough to deal with. You often feel anxious, which makes you worry a lot. Dizziness may feel like you're about to collapse, and palpitations are when your heart beats faster than usual. Depression causes you to feel sad frequently. These feelings can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, or health issues. To get support, try to calm your mind, maintain a regular sleep schedule, share your feelings with someone you trust, and consider therapy or counseling. These steps can help you manage your emotions better.

Hello i need to ask about PEth test. This month i have been drunk 3 times. How long do i have to wait in order to pass a PEth test? Also i have been drinking quite heavily in all these 3 times. 2 weeks sober in between the drinking occasions.

Male | 25

The­ PEth test looks for alcohol in your blood over a long time, not just one­ day like other blood tests. It is ve­ry important to drink lots of water, eat good food, and not drink any alcohol to help your body ge­t better. It's a challe­nging process, but staying sober and taking good care of yourse­lf can help lower your PEth leve­ls more quickly.

I am 22 years of age i have been feeling weak for the past 1week and i have visited the hospital for treatment and my doctors told me is stress and i have taken all the drugs but still am still feeling weak ?

Male | 21

The tension can lower energy levels leading to tiredness. Factors such as poor nutrition, dehydration, or lack of sleep, might also cause it. I suggest having a balanced diet filled with vitamins and minerals, drinking enough water, and making sure you sleep well with proper rest. Doing some light exercise can also give the energy you need. In the event of persistent fatigue, it is necessary to go back to the healthcare provider and say what evaluations or treatments may be made.

Hi I’ve been waking up at the same time every day for two weeks and every day I wake up either crying moving things around my room or having sleep pralysis I’ve suffered with this before but haven’t had it in ages

Female | 18

Slee­p paralysis is a sleep disorder that make­s you feel stuck. Your brain wakes up, but your body doe­sn't. This causes temporary paralysis which can be scary. You might fe­el afraid or confused. See­ing things move or crying are part of this expe­rience. To reduce­ sleep paralysis, have a re­gular sleep routine. Go to be­d at the same time e­ach night. Avoid screens before­ bed. If it keeps happe­ning, talk to a sleep specialist. The­y can guide you on what to do.

I hv stop sizomant after 45 days and facing some withdrawal side effects....withdrawal symptoms means what.. I changed dr..he gave toficalm, arip mt 2, nexito ls, trymptor... Taken 3 days, I m confused....as not getting sleep...and saw in Google arip mt 2 has serious side effects. Can I restart sizomant at half tablet after stopping above medicine

Female | 43

Withdrawal symptoms are the body's reaction to the sudden cessation of the drug. Confusion, insomnia (the inability to sleep), and anxiety are just a few of the usual symptoms. In order to deal with these symptoms, it is very important to gradually taper off the medications than to abruptly stop them. However, using sizomant at a lower dose might also help relieve the withdrawal symptoms, but seek medical advice first.

I'm experiencing many stress feelings because my past desicions

Female | 20

I don't see any need for worries or fears when you are looking back on your achievements. The most frequent expressions of the problem are anxiety, agitations, and inability to focus on the situation at hand. These responses are a result, in many cases, of suppressed feelings or concern about the future. To handle these emotions, you can use mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. Doing other recreational activities and talking to supporting siblings can be both physically and emotionally beneficial. Go to a doctor right away or if you need help desperately, I advise you to see a medical professional. They can give specific care and resources to support you while you go through tough times.

I need a dermatologist and psychologist

Female | 22

You seem to have complaints about skin problems and at the same time you are a little down. Your skin could make you overwhelmed and that's the feeling that can backfire on your skin. One of the ways of discovery of the actual cause of the skin disorder is the dermatological examination, which could be identified as an allergy or an infection. Seeing a psychologist can help you control your stress and feel better too thus inducing favorable skin condition too. Trust me, getting both addressed can make a big difference.

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of Sertraline to take for my anxiety. However i haven't started taking it yet because i feel i didn't get the chance to fully talk about my concerns and the potential side effects before committing to taking medication.

Female | 18

Sertraline is often the first treatment for anxiety. Mild side effects that can be experienced are stomach aches, headaches, and problems with sleeping. These disappear by themselves. If you have any doubt about taking it, ask your physician for a consultation. They are available to help you with your doubts before starting the course of the medication.

I can't sleep properly. It's about 2 weeks I am facing this issue.

Female | 26

For the last two weeks, having difficulty getting to sleep or sticking to sleep could be a symptom of insomnia. This can be brought about by stress, worries, or even eating habits. Try setting a bedtime schedule, for example, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Say no to the stimulant beverage and technology before night's sleep. If this doesn't help, it's best to speak with your doctor.
