Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
In your query you mentioned following symptoms:
-Poor concentration
-Week memory
-Dizziness
-Ideas of helplessness
-Poor sleep quality
Considering all these complaints, I would like to consider multiple possibilities in following hierarchy in your case:
• Excessive Stress: Start morning walk, fruits in diet and breathing exercise
• Anxiety disorder: need to be rule out and treated by after detail interview by psychiatrist
• Vitamin deficiency: Get serum B12 level. Start multi vitamins as they are easily available.
• Side effect of substance use: stop if present
• Thyroid related problem: get thyroid hormonal assay done
• Neurological problem (least possibility): get MRI brain
• Combination of above causes
Final message to you: Do not worry about symptoms, follow above advice, stop substance use if any and take multi vitamins.
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.
Regards,
