You’re going through something called health anxiety, which is when you’re really afraid of getting seriously sick. This can make you feel stressed and worried all the time. Some common signs of this include always being worried that you have a certain illness, checking your symptoms online repeatedly, and avoiding things that could make you anxious. There are ways to deal with it—one way is by talking with someone like a therapist who can help teach strategies for managing these fears.

The symptoms you're describing could be due to a panic attack, which can sometimes mimic a heart attack. It's important to address this issue promptly. Make sure you take your antidepressants consistently as prescribed and consult a mental health expert for the best way to manage your anxiety. Stress management techniques, like deep breathing exercises, can also help with these symptoms.

Breakup is bringing you grief and loneliness. It's what happens to most people, and it is quite common. It might trigger your mind, making you think everything is going wrong. You may feel disinterested in conversations with girls or in some activities you used to like. This is what is called depression. Speaking with a psychiatrist about your feelings is important. They can assist you in lifting your spirit and staying by your side.

My doctor changed olanzapine to abilify which I take for bipolar disorder. It is only the second day of the change over and I feel quite anxious. Is this due to withdrawal symptoms from the less olanzapine I'm taking or a side effect of abilify? Will it go away?
Male | 47
Transition periods can be a reason for feeling anxious. Fluctuation in drugs may cause short-lived panic attacks, this may be a result of reducing olanzapine and also starting abilify. Usually, these are transient and will disappear as your body adjusts to the new situation. Be sure to observe your symptoms and let your body get accustomed to the new medication. Even though it is normal, if you continue or become more anxious, talk to your healthcare professional. They can provide you with more support and may change your treatment plan if necessary. You are not the only one in this struggle and a good communication line with your physician is very important.

i am on 20mg fluxetine one tablet a day i took 3 so 60mg as i missed a few days do i need to go to hospital
Female | 30
Hi there! Taking more medicine than the suggested dose can be bad. If you take 60mg of fluoxetine instead of 20mg, it can make you feel dizzy, mixed up, have a fast heartbeat, or even get seizures. It is important to stay calm and tell your doctor right away. The doctor will help you know what to do next to stay safe and healthy.

hello! how are you? apparently i woke up today from a nightmare, but problem is that when i woke up there was a severe coldness everywhere in my body and my heartbeat was going 180mph for the past 15 minutes now, that was like 6 hours ago, now i’m doing fine and my heartbeat is now at 86mph and i’m relaxing but i feel like i’m still traumatized haha, should i be concerned tho or is it something normal??
Female | 15
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 take aripiprazole for an episode of psychosis, can I take Yohimbine 5mg while on aripiprazole? Thank you
Male | 32
You did right checking before taking new meds. Aripiprazole treats psychosis; Yohimbine is for other issues. Together, they can interact badly, causing racing heart, high blood pressure, and anxiety. Talk to your psychiatrist before adding Yohimbine. It may not be safe with your meds. Best to avoid Yohimbine until your doctor clears it.

These symptoms may result from different disease such as sleep apnea, anxiety disorders or schizophrenia. I suggest you see a sleep expert or a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis and a treatment.

Female | 37
As per your complaints you seem to have phobias for needles and sharp objects and excessive cleaning or washing of hands is suggestive of obsessive compulsive disorder, LONAZEP will hardly help, you need to take anti obsessive and medicines for phobias under supervision of a psychiatrist

Male | 42
Recognizing responsibility can be the first step toward meaningful change. Consider breaking down your goals into small, manageable tasks, focusing on your child's well-being first. Establishing a routine can provide both structure and stability. Seeking support from a counselor or therapist might help address feelings of loss and guide you in your journey toward personal growth and career planning. Remember, it's never too late to seek help. A psychiatrist can offer tailored advice to support your emotional and mental health.

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 am 24 years female.i have chest pain on my right side when it's paining it's unbearable.when i feel stress or depression I feel the pain so much what can I do.is the stress cause the pain
Female | Jithisha
Chest discomfort on your right side, especially when linked to stress or emotional strain, can be concerning. Stress often manifests physically, leading to muscle tension or even emotional distress. While it's essential to manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and regular exercise, it’s crucial to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. This ensures that any underlying conditions are ruled out, and appropriate care can be provided.
