Answered on 16th July '24
Worry and fear are big parts of anxiety. It makes you feel very scared or uneasy a lot of the time. You might feel nervous, have trouble sleeping, or get tired easily when you have anxiety. Stress, genes, or changes in your brain can cause anxiety. Take deep breaths, work out, or talk to someone to help with anxiety. If anxiety is still hard, a psychiatrist can teach you ways to feel better.

Answered on 16th July '24
If you take 60mg of codeine all at once, it is more likely to cause some side effects. One of the side effects is that you may become very sleepy, feel dizzy, or have problems with breathing. Whenever a medicine reaction like the one described here happens, it is best to remain calm and save your life without increasing the doses further. In addition, it is recommended to stay hydrated, sit down, and be observant of the body's feelings for possible encounters.

Am I experiencing high depression at 21?
I'm 21 years old and I feel so low and sometimes I feel very stressed and after stressing about thing I fell difficulty in sleeping I did a online depression test and it shows like I have high depression

Psychiatrist
Answered on 15th July '24
Being sad and stressed out at your age is a hard situation, but you're not the only one feeling that way. Being sad, nervous, tired, and having difficulty sleeping are among the indicators of depression. Tension can make these experiences even more burdensome. Possible reasons for this could be genes, stress, or life events. Things that can help you improve your mood are talking to a psychiatrist, playing sports, and spending your free time with activities that make you happy.

Why Can't I Sleep with Light and Noise?
I’ve been struggling with sleep the slightest bit of light or noise and sometimes even nothing makes me not able to sleep I’ve been getting frustrated and upset really easily and I’ve been over eating
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 12th July '24
You might find that insomnia and stress are your main issues. Trouble sleeping can be caused by a little bit of light or noise. Feelings like anger, being upset, and eating too much can lead to other problems. Try creating a soothing bedtime routine, like reading a good book or taking a hot bath. Avoid screen time and large meals before bed. If these steps don't help, seek professional advice from a gynecologist.

BPD is known for its symptoms such as self-injury, unstable emotions, fear of abandonment, and impulsivity. For example, you may feel sad, lose interest in things that previously gave you pleasure, and experience changes in your eating and sleeping habits. Genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be the culprits of both diseases. You should seek the assistance of a psychiatrist or a counselor.

It is possible that sweating contributes to the discomfort, and any medications may interact with each other. The adverted drug might also negatively affect the efficiency of other medications that you are taking. It is vital to communicate with a doctor.

You have been under a lot of pressure and are feeling stressed. Being very tired, short-tempered, or feeling a headache can be the symptoms of burnout. Nebulousness claims how harmful burnout can be. Enriching oneself with a plethora of activities can change the quality of your life. Explore the way you feel with someone you can trust.

How can I manage stress-induced breathing issues?
Hi doctor my age is 20 I am female I have issues in breathing since my childhood mostly this occurs when I am in stress please provide me solutions how I overcome this
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 10th July '24
In this case, you might be experiencing asthma, which is the source of your breathing difficulties, especially when you are stressed out or under emotional pressure. Try yoga, stretching exercises, deep breathing techniques, or meditation as a form of relaxation when you notice stress building up. On the other hand, if you see no improvement, report the issue to a psychiatrist to further explore and personalize treatment.

Answered on 10th July '24
You may have a gag reflex. This happens when your body is more sensitive to certain things you see, smell, or taste. It isn’t usually serious but it can be unpleasant. Try to steer clear of anything that makes you feel like this. If it won’t go away and bothers you, too, it might help to speak with a doctor about how to handle it.

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.

Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 9th July '24
Here's some brief information about the medicines that your psychiatrist has recommended: 1. Daxtin 20mg and Daxtin 40mg: These are prescribed for depression. These drugs can help increase the serotonin and norepinephrine levels, improving your mood and energy. 2. Fluvoxamine 50mg: It's also great for depression and anxiety. It works better for sleep and decreases the level of anxiety. 3. Etilaam 0.25mg: It cures anxiety and panic attacks. Positive: Such products have the potential to alleviate depression, give you a good night's sleep, and anxiety at a manageable level.
Negative: It might bring alongside other effects such as vomiting, giddiness, and drowsiness. In other words, these medications are intended to make you feel better, but they can also cause other health problems. Do not stop taking them on your own – always take them as your doctor has prescribed and notify them of any discrepancies in your condition!

Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 9th July '24
Based on what you’ve said, your weight loss, sadness, tenseness, and nervousness could be symptoms of chronic stress. When we experience stress for a long time, it affects our minds and our body. You should try to take it easy and find some ways to cope with stress — for example, deep breathing exercises, confiding in a friend, or doing something fun. If things don’t get better, think about talking to a psychiatrist or counselor.

Can I Safely Take Propranolol Before Parachuting?
can i take propranolol before parachuting
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 8th July '24
If you take propranolol before skydiving, that might not be safe. Before such a high-energy activity the drug may slow down your pulse and lower blood pressure, which is risky. During acute stress situations such as this one it is necessary for the heart to beat fast so as to supply enough oxygen into the muscles thus enabling them carry out their functions effectively.

Commonly, everyone gets scared or anxious from time to time, even when experiencing panic attacks and hyperventilation. These are most likely caused by stress, fear, or anxiety. Signs are quick breathing, chest tightness, and dizziness. Apart from doing deep breathing exercises, training in mindfulness, and talking to a trustful person, can also reduce panic attacks.
