Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
Important aspects of your query are:
• 38 year old male
• Known case of hiatus hernia , lack of appetite, cervical neck pain and high BP
• Currently on: veloz 20mg and olmizest 40mg daily.
• Total duration of problem: 10 years
• Complaints of: tension, depression, poor socialization, helplessness and loss of desire/excitement for sex (Low Libido).
From your description, I suspect presence of anxiety and depressive disorder in your case.
Severity of anxiety and depression may vary time to time, in your case it is associated with variation in sleep duration. That is why your symptoms improved with Xanax which also have anti anxiety effect apart from hypnotic action.
Other symptoms of anxiety and depressive which may or may not be present in your case: nervousness, lack of sexual desire, restlessness, mild irritability, excessive worry regarding own health, tremor, muscle spasm, heaviness in body, easy fatigability, headache, sleep disturbance, palpitation and dry mouth.
anxiety and depressive occur due to neurotransmitters imbalance in brain most commonly involving serotonin neurotransmitter. You may need treatment with psychiatrist to treat your anxiety and depression. It is not clear if you received any treatment in past, but believe me people life changes after treatment.
In drug treatment two types of medicine used. For immediate relief of anxiety/tension benzodiazepines group of medicines are used and for long term relief most commonly SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are used. SSRI takes around 3-4 weeks to show its effect. But these medicines are prescription medicine, which can be given by psychiatrist after in person examination of patient. All these process is complex. I have just simplified it to make you understand it.
Your other problems like lack of sexual excitement (symptom of depression), hiatus hernia (depression increase acidity), lack of appetite (symptom of depression), cervical neck pain (due to muscle spasm) and high BP (tension increase BP) will also solve to significant extent after treatment of depression.
Considering above information following steps will help you:
-Meet nearby psychiatrist without hesitation. If you are in Delh NCR, you can XXXXXXX me too.
-Decrease worrying by keeping yourself busy and distracted from worrisome thoughts by talking to family members or watching T.V. or counting back (100 to 0).
-Healthy diet: Milk and fruits in diet. Start multi vitamins (Capsule Cobadex CZS 2 times a day) as they are easily available. It will also improve sexual desire.
-Daily morning walk: It relieve tension effectively and also increases blood circulation all over body.
-Stop alcohol and smoking (if present)
-Get thyroid hormonal assay done, as its imbalance lead to depression and sexual problem.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
