Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Please attach the reports to guide you appropriately. For how long are you having this problem? What medicines are you taking currently? What are your current blood pressure and blood sugar values?

I suggest the following:

Drink plenty of fluids.
Take tablet Omeprazole with Domperidone combination on an empty stomach in the morning unless otherwise contraindicated.
Tablet Neurobion forte once daily after a meal unless otherwise contraindicated.
Rule out Calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency and treat them accordingly.
Get physically examined and investigated to rule out any other problems and treat them accordingly.
Avoid stress, strain, and exertion.
Practice deep breathing.
Try a change in atmosphere.
For details on diet modifications, please follow up.
Visit a counselor to help you bring out the stress of family loss.
