Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Hope you have been better. I am sorry but I didn't send you any email. I just checked my inbox to confirm it.
You may follow up your progress here. I would be glad to be of assistance.
With regards to inflammation in your body, it would be a good idea to get tested for markers of inflammation like ESR and CRP. If they are within normal range then there would be no need of any anti inflammatory meds.
The measures you took for controlling the anxiety issues are right and can be continued. Cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga and breathing exercises would also help.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
