You seem to have some symptoms associated with a mixture of anxiety, insomnia, headaches, chest pain, and depression. Stress, worry, and feeling overwhelmed are likely to be the causes of these symptoms. Try to practice relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, gentle exercises, and talking to a psychiatrist.

Hi, I am feeling dizzy and unwell in the night and also making more scary feeling while I close my eyes.
Female | 23
Vertigo has several different reasons for its appearance and it is especially hard to deal with the sleepless nights, dehydration or anxious feelings one has. Close your eyes and let yourself feel the sensations more deeply. To minimize the discomfort, it is advisable to drink enough water and implement breathing practices for tension relief which will help you feel more relaxed. It is in addition very important to keep on a regular schedule of sleep. Nevertheless, if the symptoms remain or become worse, I think it would be a good idea to consult a medical professional for a comprehensive evaluation.

I think I am suffering from anxiety & panic attacks & headache bhut jyada ho rha h extreme
Female | 24
Experiencing anxiety, panic episodes, and severe headaches can be challenging. These symptoms may arise from stress, lifestyle factors, or underlying health conditions. It's essential to identify triggers and practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, regular exercise, and mindfulness. Maintaining a balanced diet and proper hydration can also help. However, persistent or extreme symptoms deserve professional attention. I recommend scheduling a visit with a psychiatrist who can offer personalized support and explore treatment options, ensuring you feel better equipped to manage your experience.

I wonder if I have a form of OCD. I finger tap, muscle twitch, and count syllables. Also, when I finger tap and muscle twitch, it has to be equal on both sides of my body, or else it really bothers me. Also, let's say I hit my elbow on a table or fridge, I feel a very urgent need to touch my other elbow to said table or fridge, and it is very hard to ignore the need. This has been bothering me for about 2-3 years. (Ever since I started high school).
Female | 16
Your description points to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. OCD is a condition where thoughts repeat. People feel compelled to do actions repeatedly. This includes tapping, counting, or needing symmetry. OCD treatment usually involves therapy and medication. Speaking with a psychiatrist about symptoms is crucial.

I am 25 years old and 228, first time seeing this doctor. She prescribed me lisnopril 2.5mg only take if my blood pressure rises and my heart rate was fast. I get nervous easily and have anxiety
Female | 25
You are dealing with some anxiety and fast heart rate. It's not unusual for your heart to fasten up when you are nervous. Anxiety can sometimes lead to high blood pressure as well. The drug lisinopril 2.5mg can reduce high blood pressure but only when you need it, for example, if your blood pressure becomes too high. You should practice visualization techniques and keep calm to overcome your anxiety.

I’ve been put on 4mg diazepam. Is that okay with 10mg ramipril. I have panic disorder and worry!
Female | 42
You're taking 4mg of diazepam, and 10mg of ramipril for panic disorder. These medicines interact. Diazepam boosts ramipril's effect, causing low blood pressure, and dizziness. They make you drowsier, dizzier, lightheaded. If experiencing these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider about adjusting medications.

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.

Male | 26
You had a tough experience, it seems. The symptoms like nervousness, sweating, throwing up, and difficulty sleeping could point to anxiety. Anxiety can sometimes cause physical signs including stomach issues. Try to calm down by taking deep breaths and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. If symptoms don't go away, speaking to an expert could provide more help.

It seems like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, which can cause rapid heartbeats, shaking, restlessness, and a sense of losing control. These feelings are common during emotional stress. However, it’s important to visit a psychiatrist who can guide you with the right treatment and support.

6 month ago my nervologist appointed me escitalopram 10 mg Now i decrease dosage to 1/4 and symptoms like confusion,dizzines,heaviness and etc comes me back its not hard like 6month ago but still its bad and uncomfortable when will be gone withdrawal symptoms?
Male | 22
You're dealing with withdrawal effects due to lowering your escitalopram dose. Your body got accustomed to a certain amount, so changing it leads to symptoms. Confusion, dizziness, and heaviness may occur when the medicine level drops. The positive side is that these effects typically resolve within weeks without intervention. Try relaxing, sleeping adequately, and consulting your doctor regarding gradually reducing dosage for better symptom management.

Several months ago, I experienced a sudden and strong fear in one of the cafes, to the point that I felt a squeeze in my heart, pain, and a very strong palpitation, as if it had reached my stomach. I had to cough to relieve the palpitations and suffocation. Days later, I quickly became afraid of the simplest, even daily, situations, even if a simple emotion caused me strong palpitations and suffocation. And the tremors and coldness of the extremities. I read about diseases of the adrenal gland and became very afraid. The condition increased with great fear. I now cannot stand leaving the house and am very afraid of any feelings, even if the feelings are happiness or good feelings and also i get dizzy when i stand up too fast is it possible that there is something dangerous with the adrenal gland?

Likes to live in isolation, does not want to speak with her parents, sidter brother & relatives as well. She has undergone the treat ment with psychiatrist at Bareilly & Lucknow as well. She has no interest in any work.
Female | 30
Depression can bring on feelings such as sadness, isolation, and disinterest in activities that were once a source of joy. Those memories of childhood and spending countless hours running around your house could be signs of distress. It is of utmost importance to carry on with treatment by a psychiatrist for therapy and possibly medication to provide her full support during this tough time.

If you're having these symptoms.. don't stop the medications abruptly. Stay hydrated, take rest, and seek emotional support. And avoid alcohol or caffeine if you do consume. Practice relaxation techniques. Consult your psychiatrist to find the right medication and dosage for you.

Female | 32
Symptoms like heightened worry, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping can arise from trauma. This anxiety can be linked to the body’s natural response to stress. Engaging in calming activities, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or light physical activity, may help soothe your mind. Additionally, consider reaching out for support from friends or professionals who can guide you through this process. While distractions from your daughters are beneficial, talking to a therapist specializing in trauma can provide further relief. Remember, seeking professional help is a positive step toward healing.

I have ocd and I take 100mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping at night so can I take 1mg of clonazepam at night, please suggest me.
Male | 30
Poor quality rest might be responsible for experiencing the problem of sleeping. This means that you should be extra careful when attempting to change medications. Clonazepam results in disrupted sleep meaning that increasing the dose doesn't make it better.

Alcohol addiction is serious, and professional help is vital. Be cautious with Ayurvedic remedies; extreme effects when drinking aren't common but can occur. The best option is to address addiction properly with the guidance and support of healthcare professionals.

You should visit a psychiatrist or even a psychologist trained on mental health. While masturbation does serve to offer a short-term release, it is not necessarily an effective cure for depression.

Dealing with anxiety issues due to past experiences can be challenging, but there is a big community of people out there who are also experiencing this. Symptoms include feeling worried, tense, or having trouble sleeping. Such incidents as accidents or loss can be used as examples of trauma that can cause this. To feel better, therapy can be very efficient. Expressing your emotions and learning to deal with problems might really turn you into an oaring ship. Relaxation techniques and exercise can also be some other means of mental quiescence precursor. Hang in there, you can get through this.

I have a history of anorexia, and just recently relapsed. I'm trying to return to normal eating, following the advice of medical professionals to avoid refeeding syndrome, but my father is insisting on feeding me dense foods right away to get me "back to normal" as soon as possible, ignoring my concerns in regards to the risk of potentially fatal complications. Is there a way to treat this at home safely, or a place to seek help outside of the emergency room?
Female | 24
However, reintroducing food should be done cautiously to prevent complications, such as refeeding syndrome, which can occur with rapid changes in diet. It's important to start with small, easily digestible meals, gradually increasing the amount and density over time. Engage with a nutritionist or therapist specializing in eating disorders for personalized guidance. Communication with your father about your needs is also key. If you feel overwhelmed, consider seeking support from outpatient programs or community resources equipped to help in a nurturing environment. Your well-being is paramount.

I have ocd and I take 50 mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping so can I take 1 mg of clonazepam at night,please suggest me.
Male | 30
The perfect dose of clonazepam for insomnia may not be higher, e.g. 1 mg. The same applies to changing the dosage, they should talk to the psychiatrist first. Difficulty sleeping can sometimes be one side effect of clonazepam due to a medication like sertraline and the doctor will help get the right solution for the patient. Panic, fear, or other reasons may also be the sources of your sleep problems.
