Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good day, I would like to know what medication i can take to relieve stress. I would prefer something herbal that is really good. I have tried rescue remedy but it doesnt seem to be working. Ive become very short tempered and extremely moody. Everything seems to irritate me and i snap at the slightest of things. Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.First thing you should do is to rule hypertension or metabolic diseases like hypothyroidism and diabetes by checking Blood pressure blood sugar and thyroid profile.If any thing is positive then those should be controlled by life style modification and medicinal therapy if needed. You can do breathing exercise everyday that will help you control stress.You can take green tea,tea with cardamom which are all stress relieving.If all these not helping consult a psychiatrist for behavioural therapy and medication.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
