How Do I Overcome My Stress?
Hi,
I have recently been diagnosed with chronic narcolepsy. I am extremely worried due to the fact that I have recently taken out a mortgage on a new property and as a result of my condition I have been forced to cut my working hours substantially. My main worry is that I can no longer afford the repayments and I have been told that stress makes my condition worse. When I took the mortgage 12 months ago I did take a life and critcal illness policy and I have spoken to them in great detail. Apparently I am not covered by this policy as my condition is not considered to be life threatening. I am at my wits end. Any advice or feedback on this would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you are in stress and due to that reason, you are facing problem. In case, you are feeling tiredness, sleepiness or low mood, you can try some antidepressant like paroxetine or some stimulant like modafinil that would keep you active and help you to come out of current problem. You can also try some relaxation exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
