What Are The Symtoms Of Anxiety?
Question: Hello.
I need some help. I do not really know what is wrong with me. I started birth control last march and i stopped it about three weeks ago because of the side effects. After i stopped it i was starting to feel fine. Yesterday, i got really bloated and felt faint and my body felt heavy i was that tired. I have not been able to poop that much, if anything its like 2 pebbles. I just started college so my diet has not been good at all lately. I never exercise. My arms and legs feel shaky at time as well.
Sometimes i feel like its a health issue, but i also feel like i have an anxiety disorder. Im always working myself up over my health thinking i have some deadly illness. Or if i see something wrong with me i start freaking out and researching things. I have no idea i just want to feel normal again. Please help. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Stress & Anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. During the course of pills excess exogenous hormones are taken and body gets used to it. After you stop the birth control pills then it takes some time by body to adapt it. Main factor causing your symptoms is anxiety. I would suggest you not to worry and keep up with your daily routine. Arrange your daily routine and add 30-45 mins of jogging in the evening. It will help in relieving the stress and will make you healthy. Besides that take healthy diet which includes:
> high fiber diet(it will relieve constipation)
> Fresh fruits & vegetables
> Fresh juices & water
> Proteins
> AVOID:
- Junk food
- fatty & oily food
Conclusion:
You are absolutely fine and should not worry. All your symptoms are because of stress & anxiety. If you are still unable to control on your anxiety then you can visit a psychiatrist who will prescribe you some anxiolytics that will relieve your anxiety. For bloating you can take sucralfate suspension thrice a day.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Why do i feel so trembly and weak?
Brief Answer:
Probably Imbalanced diet & stress
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the question. There could be a number of causes of weakness & trembling. Most common in your case could be imbalanced diet, vitamin deficiency & stress. If these are ruled out then we can look after pathological causes. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised:
> Take balanced & healthy diet which includes:
- Fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables
- Fresh juices & plenty of water
> Eat breakfast & take smaller meals through out the day
> Avoid eating heavy food at night
> Don't forget to do exercise in the evening.
Above mentioned food will help cover the vitamin deficiency if present in the body & at the same time will make you healthy. If you still feel the symptoms 7-10 days after following the above mentioned routine then i would suggest you to visit nearest hospital for detailed examination & some lab investigations.

Brief Answer:
Could be Tinea Corporis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. In my opinion it is Tinea Corporis, a fungal infection of skin.
If I were your treating doctor then I would have advised topical ketoconazole ointment. It should be applied on all the lesions and at least 2cm beyond the area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. It is a prescription medicine so i would suggest you to get an appointment for a dermatologist to confirm it and then he will prescribe you the antifungals.
