Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

It has been a few months since I have been anxious.I feel emptiness in my stomach, along with fear and anxiety for no reason. I am fine in general, and I work as a nurse. My family is okay; all things are okay. But this anxious feeling, I do not know why I have it. Can you tell me why? I am curious if it is helpful, but I recovered from covid-19 two times; the last time was a year ago.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist. I understand your situation. You may have an anxiety disorder. However, there is no reason for it. There is non-pharmacological management of your anxiety, and you should follow few guidelines to deal with it. It will help you. Do exercises for 30 to 45 minutes daily, like at least going for a walk. You should meditate for 20 minutes daily, sit in a comfortable position, and concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts; just let it be. It will reduce anxiety. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk foods. You must drink enough water. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family. It would be best to spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments. You should take enough seven to eight hours of sleep daily. It would help if you avoided tobacco or alcohol, or any substance abuse. I suggest you take the tablet Sertraline 25 mg daily in the morning after breakfast. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent. Live your life, do not just spend it. Be bold and confident

I hope that you get your answer. Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.
