This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.

Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation

Female | 25

When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level

Male | 19

It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

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.

Before i did not had any sleep issues but from few weeks i cant fall asleep i close my eyes and i am still awake and i do exercise for sleeping that too i cant sleep

Female | 15 years

Factors such as stress, changes in routine, or anxiety can contribute to this challenge. Establishing a calming bedtime routine may help, such as reducing screen time before bed and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Techniques like relaxation exercises or mindfulness can also be beneficial. If these strategies don't improve your situation within a few weeks, consider reaching out to a healthcare professional. They can provide further insights and tailored solutions to support your sleep health effectively.

Hi, I am 35 F being treated for treatment resistant depression. I am on this regimen for 7 days now and have developed a benign rash allover my body. I am taking duloxtene, lustral, vilazodone, lamictal, and lurasidone. Please verify of these drugs don't have any serious interactions and what to do with my rash.

Female | 34

The drugs that you have mentioned are solely for the treatment of depression, and the great news is that they do not create any major interactions. The rash might be a result of the use of one of the medications, possibly Lamictal. Rashes can often occur while one takes this drug. I suggest you reach out to your doctor, inform them about the new symptom, and find out the best way to address it.

I just quit smoking weed 3 days ago. Also just got prescribed venlafaxine for my anxiety. How long should i wait to start taking them?

Female | 20

The period of 7 days should pass after you have quit smoking weed. There should be a week's break between the two treatment regimens. Make sure to stay patient and let your body adapt to the medications.

I am a 41 year old female and I haven't slept in 2 days last night I couldn't sleep and tonight I can't sleep. I have had instances where I can't sleep throughout the night but I have never been unable to sleep at all. I'm very worried.

Female | 41

Several possible reasons exist, such as stress, anxiety, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions. To sleep better, try to make a soothing nighttime habit such as rigorous studies or gentle exercise. Cut down the amount of caffeine in your diet. If the situation continues for; even a few nights, then counseling with a health professional is highly recommended. They would help you recognize any background issues and suggest appropriate actions that will work best for you.

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under antidepressants medications which include epilepsy medication also

Female | 22

Levonorgestrel is generally a reliable emergency contraceptive pill, but there are certain medications, for example, drugs used to treat epilepsy or depression, which might make its effect weaker. These interactions may also be the cause of the contraception not working properly. It’s crucial to spot any discomfort you have during this period including the unexpected bleeding or the menstrual changes and you have to monitor the situation. I recommend that you discuss the medications that you are using with a healthcare provider.

Doctor I had headache in past so I took paracetamol Now I study but during study I have overthinking so much how I can remove it & how can I focus on studies without any distraction with discipline & consistency

Female | 16

If you are enduring the pain of a headache and overthinking while studying, it is vital to attend to the root issue. I advise you to refer to a neurologist to exclude possible medical problems of headache origin. As well, you can try to get support from the mental health professionals, like psychiatrists, who can show you how to manage your tendency to overthink and develop the necessary discipline and consistency in studies.

Hello i had a panic attack yesterday and my hands and feet were going numb also my mouth so i went to the ER they did 2 syringes in my stomach of Aqua then they did one behind of diazepam i am a regular smoker and i wanted to smoke could i? If i cant should i buy a no nicotine pack?

Female | 16

The numbness of hands, feet, and mouth is the result of decreased blood flow in panic attacks. The effect of smoking on the body can make people suffer from panic attacks. Given the fact that you were prescribed diazepam at the ER, smoking might hurt it. Stay away from smoking as it is better for you. If you are in bad shape and have to, you can try a no-nicotine pack.
