You have a severe case of insomnia. Insomnia is a health problem where a person has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Some common symptoms are difficulty concentrating, tiredness, and excessive irritability. Causes such as stress, anxiety, or an unhealthy sleep schedule can produce insomnia. Practicing a bedtime routine, not drinking coffee near bedtime, and relaxation will greatly influence your sleep. If you continue to experience sleeplessness, you need to consult a psychiatrist for additional advice.

Male | 28
Experiencing difficulty falling or staying asleep can stem from stress, lifestyle habits, or medical issues. Common symptoms include restless nights, daytime fatigue, and irritability. To improve your situation, consider establishing a calming bedtime routine, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Regular exercise also promotes better rest. Mindfulness techniques, like meditation or gentle yoga, can help ease anxiety. If these changes do not help, it’s important to discuss your sleep concerns with a psychiatrist who can provide personalized guidance and support.

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.

My name is Deepali age 22 I have been listening to subliminal since last 4 - 5 days and since yesterday I am having side effects like dizziness brain fog nausea and blur vision can you please suggest what to do ????
Female | 22
It would appear that you have the feeling of an uncomfortable symptom like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and brain fog. Often this is the result of stress, fatigue, or even your body's reaction to the silent subaudio. The thing is consciously leaving them to have a chance to get relaxation to mind and body is a must. Try to drink water regularly, guarantee that you have enough sleep, and reflect on slow-tempo activities like walking. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend you consult a Psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

It seems like anxiety may be the cause. Feeling nervous or troubled happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxiety arises from stress. Or it could stem from genes. Some medical issues can lead to it too. But you can manage through techniques like relaxation. Regular exercise helps.

Aisa craving hona sakta hai aapko jise "pica" kehte hain, jismein log ajeeb cheezein khaane ki ichha mehsoos karte hain. Yeh aksar nutritional deficiencies, stress ya anxiety se bhara hota hai.

Aur agar yeh cravings barh jaati hain ya aapko koi samasya mehsoos hoti hai, toh ek doctor se sampark karna behtar rahega.

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?

Agar aapko kisi tarah ki takleef ya symptoms mehsoos ho rahe hain, jaise ki dard, khushk khasi, ya thakan, toh yeh zaroori hai ki aap isse samjhein. Ye issues kabhi kabhi stress, allergy ya kisi infection ki wajah se ho sakte hain. Ghar par kuch gharelu nuskhe, jaise chai ya garm paani se gargle karna, aapko aram de sakta hai. Lekin, agar aapki halat behtar nahi hoti ya symptoms khatarnaak ho, toh ek psychiatrist se sampark karna behad zaroori hai.

Male | 29
With your signs of mood changes, severe sleep problems, and physical complications like hair loss and weight loss, you must get medical help in time. I would suggest that you try to consult with a psychiatrist who can establish the proper diagnosis through a comprehensive testing procedure. You should also see an endocrinologist for evaluation of these symptoms that may be due to the hormonal imbalance.

Male | 24
Sometimes as a way of managing the condition, you come to the idea of alcohol consumption to enable you to have a good night's sleep. But alcohol can become a habit and become a more serious problem in the long run. Factors such as stress, anxiety, or overconsumption of alcohol, are the usual suspects of sleep problems and irritability. Besides, to avoid sleep disorders, you can reduce alcohol intake and apply meditation before bed. Another effective approach is physical activity and sleeping at fixed times. If your sleep disturbances continue, do not hesitate to report them to a specialist who will examine you properly and offer you the best treatment.

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.

Insomnia causes difficulty sleeping. Stress, worries, caffeine late in the day could disturb your rest. Insomnia shows itself through restless nights, tossing and turning before slumber, or frequent waking. Develop a calming routine before hitting the sheets. Avoid those bright screens too.

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.

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.

Experiencing a lack of emotions can be concerning and might indicate underlying conditions such as depression or anxiety.

Depression can impact not only one's gait but also distort movement patterns. Nonetheless, many other chronic medical diseases can likewise cause a person to walk differently. It is wiser to get a consultation from a neurologist to eliminate any possibility of disorders in the nervous system that may be the factors. On the other hand, if you are having depression signs, it is mandatory to get treatment from a mental health specialist.
