Hi, I’ve been having nausea and have been vomiting for a month or so now. It first started with what I think was gastric when my stomach would hurt if I didn’t eat, to loss of appetite and now constant nausea and vomiting. When I smell strong smells like food, cigarettes or even when I’m in a public toilet I get nausea and then I vomit. But just recently I have been lightheaded, very tired, irritable and have been breaking down a lot more emotionally. Is this something to do with my mental health? Or is there something wrong?
Hello sir I am 44 year old and I am experiencing problem with my brain 2 or 3 days ago for sometime about 1/2 an hour my brain doesn’t respond, I did not know where I was, I even forgot my home but I know who I am, where I have to go I don’t know. For that period of time I did not feel any pain and became senseless. This was happening from 1 year I met many doctors but they did not gave any satisfying reason, some told this is due to low BP and taking stress of mine. I am also experiencing problems in my daily life I didn’t think properly and forgot my things.
So plz give me a solution of my problem.
Female child aged 12 years old; wakes up in the morning very tired, annoyed and can’t refrain from thinking; watches a lot of crosses and tries to give a desire for each of them but they are too many. and this makes her very desperate. At school she stays apart from her friends and can’t concentrate. even when walks she looks in an indefinite direction and is afraid to go to school alone. She is a excellent child at school but recently she has fallen in lessons. She can only speak openly to her mum and is very sensitive so she cried a lot when told her mother but then she felt released.

Hello doctor, i want to ask you question, i always stay in my room i don’t want to go outside i don’t have any friends when somebody talk to me i feel so… Nervous i can’t do work properly when somebody talk i think they’re talk about me & i get angry i have lot anger, i can’t speak properly means i speak but when i talk to somebody i can’t talk perfectly when i go outside from my house all people laughs at me my behavior is not normal i’m 19 years old but i wasn’t like this before 4 years ago, Do i have autism?
my son aged 20, is a psycho patient for last three years. Initial symptoms were low confidence, loss of concentration and split thoughts. He is taking medicines continuously. There was improvement in these symptoms but another thing developed about eight months ago, ie, he believes that his thoughts are being broadcasted and everyone in the world reads my thoughts. There is no improvement in this symptoms. Doctor has changed the medicines many times and also increased the dosage but no effect. About two months ago, Doctor recommended clozapine. But we did not agree to take this medicine due to its severe side effects. Alternately, we found another clinic dealing with psycho problems and told them whole story. There he remained admitted for 45 days where his psychotherapy and medication(other than clozapine) was carried out. Now he feels a little better. But medicines have no effect on him. Only due to psychotherapy and some brain exercise, he was made to believe that no one can read his thoughts. this technique works some time but not all the time. They also given medicines for one more month. these medicines include tab olepra, LG, Dosik, rivotroil.
Apparently, he looks normal but he refrains from gathering. In the home. he talks with everyone. He also meets his friends. He is neither agressive no creating any other problem. He only refrains from gathering due to belief that other people will read his thoughts. Now what should we do?? we have three options regarding medications:
we should quit all the medicines as they have no effect and do only psychotherapy, counselling, brain exercise etc..
we should continue the above mentioned medicines alongthwith psychotherapy even if these have no effect.
and the last is that we should start clozapine.
Please annalyse the three options and intimate the best one..
I’m hoping there is a doctor or someone knowledgeable reading these comments. I have been taking pain pills for years and I experience(not every time, maybe 1 out of every 10 or 15 times) crazy deja vu and it is extremely uncomfortable. It will be either something on the t.v. or just in a room with people when conversations are going on. But I’ll get an extremely uneasy feeling come over me and whatever is happening around me, I will get a sense of having been in that exact scenario before , to the point where I know everything about to be said or everything about to happen in the TV show. And I have to turn away or close my eyes because it makes me physically ill and I can’t watch it. It lasts for 10 or 15 seconds and it’s the worst 10 or 15 seconds in the world. Like I said, I get nauseous, feel like I’m about to be sick, and literally have to change the channel or close my eyes for a few seconds to try and make it go away. Has anyone experienced this and/or does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance.
For the past, goodness knows how long, I’ve had these waves of sadness which I am oblivious as to where they came from. They come as a down, anchoring feeling(weighing me down), and I cry at least twice during these times. They come unexpectedly, and I really can’t stress how much I don’t know why they happen. However, recently, I’ve started feeling as though my life is utterly pointless, school is stressful (im in my last year, ), and I heard college is the same, and so is getting a job. we never get a break from stress and hardships so I think, what is the point in staying alive if all that’s coming my way is this unrelenting sadness and stress? In short, I want to die. Suicidal, sure. I don’t have the means to do it, however, leaving my friends is something I’d never want to do, but I’ve been told to put my happiness before everyone elses, and this seems to be the only solution. Is this normal for a 15 year old to be feeling?
I am suffering from Gerd ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease ) and gastric from few years.
I was depressed when it started but now i don’t feel depressed but whenever i am having some problem
in life i felt headache. Initially i went to doctor who told me it’s caused by depression and anxiety but i
thought it is a problem of stomach, how can it be related to depression and anxiety. He prescribed me some
medicines ( for morning – proton pump inhibitors like nexium — which he kept changing monthly …..
And for night he prescribed me some anti-depressant medicine ) . Meanwhile i take a morning
medication for sometime, which was not effective , then for sometime i started taking medicine
for night and day . after which i started feeling some good . After that i myself started talking
an anti depressant (Escitalopram) at night only for years , i canceled the morning medication,
now everything is fine . But the problem is if i am stopping having anti depressant medicine for
even a single day, i am having same kind of feeling , same Gerd ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease ),
burping, gases, stomach pain – which was at starting moment ? Now what should i do ?
Test done – Endoscopy and ultrasound- which shows stomach is in good condition
I HAVE AN ANXIETY PROBLEM AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I’M SHAKING, NOT EATING, NERVOUS ALL THE TIME AND VERY JUMPY. I’M WEARY TO TALK TO PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW, AND THOSE I DO I SEEM TO BE PUSHING AWAY. I LIVE IN CYPRUS AND WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PAY PRIVATE CARE THERE IS NO HELP AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
My mom is in depression, she doesn’t eat too much, barely talks, just do everything what others says, which wasn’t the case in normal situation. She has been depressed before and all the times we took her hospital for treatment. I am asking is treatment at home possible ?
Symptoms detail:
I have passed out 8 times since November of last year. I also have had an unexplained weight loss of 20lbs. I was in the hospital for 2 nights this week, they did an ECHO a stress test, an electrolyte workup, and a urinary analysis. I have also had an MRI, countless EKGs, an EEG, and had a ZIO patch. All have come back negative. I have seen a neurologist and a cardiologist. I have continued working with my therapist but she doesn’t think that these are related to psychological problems. It’s frustrating because this has significantly impacted my functioning as I lost a scholarship and can’t attend school without it.
Directly after the stress test I fainted. They were able to get my blood pressure which was normal and my heart rate, a bit accelerated but returning to normal. It was rather easy for me to get my pulse up to 199. I feel like it’s almost TOO easy to get my heart rate to accelerate… when I stand up my pulse will race to 120-130. The nurse made a note that I had stiff muscles during the faint which lasted 4 minutes. This time, when I passed out I was aware of everything happening around me but was too weak/unable to respond. I had a headache directly after coming too, which was sensitive to sound and light.
On Monday I passed out twice and felt VERY fatigued. Upon regaining consciousness the second time I felt as if an elephant was sitting in the middle of my chest, 7/10 and taking deep breaths exacerbated the problem . I typically feel a bit disorientated and as if the room is spinning but not in any pain after I pass out. My left leg felt tingly and 10ish minutes after passing out as the paramedics evaluated me my left shoulder felt like I had pulled it, and was in pain 8.75/10. The chest pain dulled out and was no longer noticeable 10 hours later when I was admitted to the hospital. also upon arousing my vision remained cloudy and dark, as well as being sensitive to light.
The night after I pass out I typically experience lower back pain and pain in the right side of the neck, but this might be related to the stress of fainting.

Personal medical history:
I was born with congenital hypotonia. I am diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome. I also have hypothyroidism. This was my first time being hospitalized.
I had a turbinate reduction surgery in may 2016. And when i was little ear tubes were placed in 2000.
i have an allergy to latex and had a bad reaction to steroids.
Family medical history:
My family is relatively healthy with 2 of my great-grandmothers living past 90, all of my grandparents and their siblings are still living. my grandfather has some heart problems but I am unaware of what it is exactly. no sudden or cardiac related deaths.
Personal lifestyle:
I used to be a student at the University of Portland but lost my scholarship due to this illness. I had attended a very prestigious and rigorous high school and never had any problems, even while taking classes for college credit (VIA. the AP program). I never smoked or drank alcohol. There is absolutely no chance that I am pregnant as I abstain from sex. I am as innocent as they come with no bad habits. I exercise regularly on the treadmill walking a mile every day for 15 minutes and walk all over campus, but would definitely not call myself athletic. I eat a normal diet, though will not be the first to admit that I could eat better, with the occasional doughnut, ice cream and cupcake thrown in.
Diagnostic or imaging test abnormalities:
Innumerable tests have been performed without any abnormalities being found. Had countless EKGs without any abnormalities, standard blood and urine workup with nothing, every time I went to the ER (7 times now). Wore a Zio patch for 2 weeks and did not experience an episode during that time. Have had an ECHO and stress test done, with nothing abnormal being found (aside from fainting directly after the stress test was performed). Had an EEG done and 2 MRIs one with contrast for the blood vessels.
Secondary or partial diagnoses:
palpitations
syncope
Personal struggle:
I have lost my scholarship because I went to the ER every week for 3 weeks. I can’t attend my school without it and until I feel confident in a solution to the problem, I don’t feel like I can productively return to my studies. Without my return to school insight, I have lost numerous friendships and my first boyfriend. I used to be a strong believer in God but with all that is happening I truly doubt that he would do this to someone who has been nothing but faithful to him.
