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.

Pre-Event Bedranol for Anxiety Relief: Effective Strategy?
Hello, I wanted to know that can we start taking Bedranol a day before any stress inducing event for anxiety relief?

It's good to think about ways to cope with anxiety before something stressful occurs. Bedranol, or propranolol, can help with physical anxiety symptoms like rapid heartbeat and shaking. It's usually taken an hour before stressful situations. However, always consult a psychiatrist before taking new medications. They'll guide you if Bedranol suits your needs, ensuring proper use.

My mother is not willing to eat anything, so can hypnotic therapy will work for her ?
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 15th Oct '24
There are numerous reasons for this, such as the risk of depression or some medical conditions. Hypnotic therapy is not usually a method employed in this case. Figuring out the reasons behind her not wanting to eat is the first step. Have the conversation with her first and then help her find the right psychiatrist who will come up with the best treatment.

Am I experiencing anxiety attacks with hyperventilation?
Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 14th Oct '24
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.

What you describe seems like an anxiety disorder. When people find themselves in a state of panic, their bodies can respond in a variety of ways. Symptoms can make you a little self-conscious about your colleagues' opinions, thus impairing your memory and possibly leading to pain in your joints. Listening to relaxation techniques, adding exercise to your routine, and talking with a psychiatrist might help. Anyway, you should know that you are not the only one who experiences this and there are ways to get better.
