Pregnant women should have normal worries when carrying a baby after a miscarriage. The medications you've been prescribed can influence the development of your baby but quitting them too quickly can also be dangerous. This is the reason why it is vital to discuss this with your doctor. To promote your child's health, eat healthy foods and take prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.

How to reduce adrenaline anxiety?

The inner glands produce adrenaline. Adrenaline is also known as the “fight-or-flight hormone.” It's released in response to a stressful, exciting, dangerous, or threatening situation. Adrenaline helps your body react more quickly. One can reduce adrenaline by activating relaxation response ( in contrast of fight and flight response) by doing meditation, yoga, playing a sport, listening to music ect. One can do relaxation exercises like Jacobsons progressive muscular relaxation, pranayam and through guided imagery.

I took 15 30mg codeine tablets and 7 50mg cyclizine tablets, about 4 hours ago. Am I going to die?

You consumed too many code­ine and cyclizine tablets. The­se can hurt you badly. Sleepine­ss and slowed breathing are risks. Dizzine­ss, confusion, feeling sick may occur. It's crucial to reach out imme­diately if experie­ncing such symptoms. Call emergency se­rvices right away.

I am using inderal 10mg twice and escitalophram 10 mg daily for anxiety from last 1 year.. Now i am good last time doctor said that we will reduce yout dose and then gradually quit this medication. Now iam far away from city and cannot go there kindly suggest me how to reduce dose

Male | 22

I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

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.

Greetings to the doctor who is seeing my messages. I am facing a serious bad situation of sperm leakage or semen leakage. This starts when I was giving my matriculation exams. It is still happening to me whenever I take any exams. This happens when I feel too much anxiety. And after this anxiety my heart beat run soo fast . I couldn't control on myself. And semem leakage happens to me. I'm really depressed I have tried exercising on daily basis. But in exams I couldn't control my stress and anxiety. Kindly what is treatment for this problem. I'm really depressed, I just want to give my best in exams so I'll be able to achieve my goals that I have set in my life.

Male | 22

This is more common than you may realize and could be due to stress affecting your body. When you’re nervous, it can make your body react in various ways such as increased heart rate and release of semen. Perhaps trying relaxation methods like deep breathing or talking about what’s bothering you with someone could help calm down your nerves before sitting for an exam.

What would happen if I take 3 yellow betapam pills at once

Female | 19

Taking 3 yellow be­tapam pills at once is extreme­ly risky. Betapam treats anxiety disorde­rs. But overdosing can induce seve­re dizziness, exce­ssive sleepine­ss, and dangerously slowed breathing – a se­rious overdose situation requiring urge­nt medical attention. Neve­r exceed your doctor's re­commended dosage.

I am 24 year old i am overthinking last 4 years nahi merko nind aati hai subha bhi nahi aati jaise ankh band karta dimag mein kuch na kuch chalta rehta alcohol drink karta hoon toh jayada karunga tab nind aati hai bina piye jab kam drink karunga nind nahi aati

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.
