Brief Answer:
Cause of insomnia
Detailed Answer:
Hi Fashioncreations, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. Your sleeping duration has decreased. Excessive yawning is due to fatigue and lack of sleep. Family problem, fear of STD, mental stress, inability to share your mental stress are the main causes of insomnia. In the background, you might be suffering from depression, anxiety-panic disorder or both. You must consult psychiatrist for the same.
For proper sleep, you can follow few tips
- Do not drink caffeine after 4pm and reduce its intake in day
- Eat light meal and include yoghurt in dinner
- Keep your room well ventilated, cool, noise free, comfortable
- For throat infection, you must show it to ENT specialist and rule out candidiasis, chronic pharyngitis/laryngitis/tonsillitis. Candidiasis is treated by fluconazole tablet after proper prescription while rest infection usually respond to coamoxyclav therapy.
- For good sleep, you can take tablet zoo-idem after proper prescription.
- For anxiety/palpitation, you can take tablet clonazepam after proper prescription.
Don't worry much. Hope it will help. If any doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
