I've been feeling anxious for the past month and have been taking meds plus doing yoga to manage it. I'm also scheduled for deviated septum surgery soon and that's adding to my worries how can I handle the anxiety around the procedure and recovery?

Question

I've been feeling short of breath sometimes, and my doctor said it's due to anxiety. He put me on Doxolin tablets, which I take twice a day. I'm curious if taking Doxolin is really necessary or beneficial since the breathlessness is because of anxiety, and not an actual respiratory issue. Is it common to use Doxolin in cases like this? Could it have any side effects I should be aware of?

Question

I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have a baby while I'm taking Daxid 100mg tablets. I've been using them for about 6 years now for anxiety and panic attacks, and I really want to know if it's safe during pregnancy. Could you please share your insight on this?
