I'm wondering if my blood pressure readings like 120125 over 6065 are considered normal. I've been having some health and heart anxiety. I went to a cardiologist, and everything like the echo and ECG came back normal, but they still prescribed me Ciplar, Stalopalm, and Trinerve. Are these medications actually for anxiety? Also, since I'm relatively young, I'm curious if I can manage this anxiety with yoga and meditation instead of medication. My resting heart rate usually stays around 55 to 60. Could you give me some advice?

The medications prescribed to you, Ciplar (propranolol), Stalopam (escitalopram), and Trinerve (multivitamin supplement), indicate that your doctor may have prescribed them for anxiety and to support your overall health. Propranolol is commonly used to treat anxiety symptoms by reducing heart rate and blood pressure. While yoga and meditation can be helpful in managing anxiety, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. If you wish to explore non-pharmacological methods, you can incorporate yoga and meditation into your daily routine alongside your prescribed treatment. It's essential to discuss any changes or concerns with your doctor before making adjustments to your treatment plan.

View allI've been dealing with an addiction to masturbation, and it's gotten to the point where I can't go a day without doing it, usually once or twice. No matter where I am, I get these strong urges at night and find it really hard to control myself. Even if I manage to stop for just one day, by the next, I'm itching to do it again. I'm really looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. What steps can I take to break this cycle?
It's important to recognize that you're not alone in facing this challenge. I recommend finding healthy distractions, like engaging in hobbies, exercise, or relaxation techniques. If the urge is strong, try delaying it for a few minutes each time to gradually reduce dependency. If needed, seeking professional counseling can help address any underlying emotional or psychological factors.

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?

I'm looking to find ways to reduce my sexual desires and I'm wondering if there are any medications available for this. Could you provide some guidance on this issue?
It's important to approach concerns about sexual desire with care. Medications like **anti-androgens** or **selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)** may be prescribed in certain cases to help reduce sexual drive, but these should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. I recommend discussing your concerns with a doctor who can provide a personalized treatment plan.
