Detailed Answer:
Hi
Namaskar
Dear Mr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Its not a serious disease and can be taken care. Being
stress free and relaxed is very important
Coming to your queries
1. Its not a serious mental disease.
2. I would advise complete and absolute abstinence of alcohol. Alcohol may worsen your symptoms. So totally no for alcohol. All the beneficial effect you have achieved the whole week by maintaining good diet, exercise,
yoga and meditation will be nullified by it.
3. Everyone of us have experienced
anxiety during one time or the other. It is like over response of the body to given stress level. Its unlikely to affect heart and brain. It may cause many Psychsomatic symptoms like
chest pain, headache etc. Being relaxed, understanding our own body, respecting its needs and requirements will definitely help.
4. Anxiety may be Physiological that is normal, but when it is of longer duration or affects the daily routine and functioning it becomes pathological anxiety and is likely to affect the routine. Blood pressure may get elevated, altered
lipid profile, vague
body ache and other symptoms.
Follow the previous advise, take a break from work, regular picnic , spending time with family are the most effective stress busters.
Wishing you a happy and healthy life.
Take Care
Best Regards
Dr T Shobha Deepak
