Suggest Remedy For Stress Caused By Lifestyle Changes
Question: Dear Dr.
My life is very stressful and complicated, over the past year. I always feel tired, not overly well, anxious and impatient most of the time. I am 71 and this has not been the case with me until recently. Could you offer some advice so that I might feel calmer. I am a very busy person with volunteer work and life in general.
Thank you sincerely,

Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modifications.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
It seems that your busy life is taking toll on you.
You have become anxious and impatient.
Well, first and foremost advice would be to take out time for yourself. Due work load, you are finding time to relax. This makes you feel tired always.
You should make a routine and find time time to go for a walk.
Enjoy some soft music.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Drink plenty of water, eat fruits and green vegetables more.
Ensure that you get a good 6-8 hours of sleep.
Some of these simple lifestyle modifications will help you.
If you are still anxious, antianxiety drugs like klonopin (prescription drug) can help.
Hope my suggestions help you.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
