I'm a 25-year-old woman dealing with a lot of stress at work, and recently I've been feeling kind of breathless. I'm worried that my job might be affecting me. I'm curious, can anxiety actually make it hard to breathe? Would love some insights if possible.

- Seek medical advice if breathlessness is frequent, severe, or accompanied by chest pain, dizziness, or fainting.

Management Strategies

View allI'm really curious about what happens if someone masturbates 4 to 5 times a day. Could it have any negative effects on the mind if it's done that often? Is this something I should be worried about?

I've been thinking a lot about rabies and how it works. I read that rabies has a long incubation period and that you're generally safe as long as you get vaccinated before showing any symptoms. Is it true that as long as you get vaccinated before the virus reaches the brain, you're okay? Here's what's on my mind: in 2001-2002, I got a minor dog bite, but I didn't get a vaccine back then. Years later, around 2008, I started worrying and ended up getting vaccinated, like 17 shots between 2008-2012. But I can't shake off the fear from that dog bite years ago. It just won't leave my mind, and I'm scared I might develop rabies in the future. Is that a possibility? What should I do to protect myself? If there's no risk, I really need reassurance because living with this fear is tough. Can you help me figure this out?
Anti rabies vaccination is given at 0,3,7,14 days interval.The wound is cleaned thoroughly with soap water and povidine iodine .
