I'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?

I don't have access to any attached files. However, based on your description and the tests you have already undergone, it seems like your symptoms are related to anxiety attacks. To manage your anxiety symptoms, you can try taking Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg as needed when you feel a panic attack coming on. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also help in reducing the frequency and intensity of your panic attacks.

View allI'm scheduled for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery next month but I'm currently taking Luramax 40, Apizole, and Sizopin for my mental health. Could these meds cause any complications during the surgery? Do I need to stop taking them beforehand and if so, how long before the surgery should I stop?
As such there is no direct impact of medicine on surgery or vice versa. But couple of things to bear in mind are.... any surgery can be stressful as it involves being in hospital, off your regular routine / work, pain etc. And stress can result in deterioration in mental health condition. Just make sure you have good support network and you are in touch with your psychiatrist before and after surgery to monitor your mental state and to review medicines as necessary. Secondly, as long as you have no other medical conditions, medicine is stopped only on the day of surgery. Once you start on oral feeds medicine can be resumed. Please inform the anaesthetist about your medicines and have your psychiatrist's contact number handy for your orthopedist to contact if necessary. Best wishes

I've been struggling for over ten years with what I suspect is depression. I'm 29 now, and for a long time, death was something I constantly thought about, though I never went through with any plans because I couldn't bear the thought of hurting my dad. That frustration was tough. Lately, I've stopped thinking about ending it all, but I still feel like the desire to live is gone. Nothing makes me happy, and even when I'm around others, I feel incredibly alone and often find myself on the verge of tears. It's like I'm sad all the time, and small things really hurt me. I'm having a hard time accepting quarrels and fights within my family. Is this something that can be helped? Should I be seeking specific advice or treatment?

Severe itching and cysts can be distressing and embarrassing. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Folliculitis_: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by bacterial or fungal infections. 2. _Keratosis pilaris_: A skin condition characterized by rough, dry patches and ingrown hairs. 3. _Seborrheic dermatitis_: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy patches. 4. _Cysts_: Blocked pores or ingrown hairs can cause cysts. _Home Remedies and Self-Care_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Gently exfoliate the affected area with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. _Keep the area clean_: Wash the affected area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. _Apply warm compresses_: Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the affected area to help bring the cyst to a head and encourage drainage. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and infection. _Medical Treatments_ 1. _Topical creams or ointments_: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil may help alleviate symptoms. 2. _Oral antibiotics_: If the cysts are infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear the infection. 3. _Minor surgical procedures_: In some cases, your doctor may recommend minor surgical procedures, such as draining the cyst or removing it entirely.
