View allI'm really struggling with my zolpidem use after taking it for insomnia that started with the stress of marriage and moving. Now I can't seem to stop taking Zolfresh for almost any reason. If my husband is snoring, I take one. If I'm going to bed late, I just pop another. It's gotten to the point where I'm even using it for afternoon naps, taking 15 mg at night and 10 mg in the afternoon. I'm feeling stuck in this cycle. How can I break free from this?

I'm really concerned about the effects of masturbation and I'm curious about how I can stop it. I've been doing it for the past two years and it's starting to feel like an addiction. Can you help me understand more about this?
Masturbation is a natural activity, but if it feels like an addiction and interferes with daily life, it can have emotional and psychological effects, such as guilt, anxiety, or reduced energy. To reduce or stop, its important to focus on healthy coping mechanisms, like exercise, hobbies, and managing stress, while seeking support from a counselor or therapist if needed.

I'm sweating a lot and I'm not sure if it's just because of gas or if something else is going on. I'm dealing with panic disorder and often have issues with acidity. Could the acidity be triggering my panic attacks? I really need help with this panic disorder and would love to know if there's a permanent cure. I had a TMT done last August, and it came out normal. Does that mean I could still have a heart issue?
take ecg snd confirm wheather it is due to gastritis or heart related disorder
