Brief Answer:
Treatment for anxiety disorder is needed likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
From history it seems that you are likely suffering from anxiety disorder.
HIV rarely can pass through oral when oral mucosa damage is there and wound is present. Maximum detection time for HIV is 6 months. With current techniques and tests it can be detected within 4 weeks also. So you are negative that is confirmed. No need to worry about the same.
Consulting a psychiatrist personally will help to diagnose your anxiety disorder specifically with help of history and mental status examination.
Best treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) includes both medicines and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).
In mild cases only CBT is sufficient. In moderate to severe cases initially medicines and then CBT is added. And later on medicines stopped gradually.
If medicines alone are used chances of relapse are more after stopping the medicines.
In medicines SSRI group of drugs (fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram) are main stay of the treatment. I prefer paroxetine. Benzodiazepines group of drugs (clonazeapm, lorazepam or etizolam) are used initially for short duration for fast symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
masturbation frequency is high, which medicines have you taken?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for follow up.
I would like to know which medicines have you taken with dose and who has prescribed?
Yes digestive problems numbness and headaches bodily pains and weakness can be symptoms of anxiety disorder also.
Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.
However masturbation 2-3 times a day for more than 10 years is high. It can cause some calorie loss, weakness and related problems if you have not taken enough nutritious meals. Of course there is need in reduction of frequency.
- Let me know your height and weight.
- Is masturbation compulsion for you or can you stop it for a week without any discomfort?
I will be happy to help further after your response.

Brief Answer:
weight gain is needed, counseling for controlling masturbation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for information.
Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 18 which suggests you are malnourished.
Your weight should be around 150-160 pounds. So first of all you need modification of diet. Include more protein (egg, milk, milk items, pulses, legumes, sprouts) and micronutrients (vegetables and fruits) in your meals.
You should also go for thyroid and haemoglobin check-up.
Consulting your GP will help to check the reports and also to prescribe some multivitamin tablets.
Ativan can cause sedation and you must not take it without doctor's guidance.
Your problem overall is likely due to excess masturbation. You need to control the habit with help of counseling. Anxiety symptoms are likely due to poor nutrition which will improve as soon as you will have good nutrition. And yes you can control panic attacks with psychotherapy and for that you need to consult specialist.
If still any query there, I will be happy to answer. If not, you can close the discussion and if feasible give your feedback and rating so I can improve my service. In future you can contact me directly on this site if you wish with this link:
