I had gone through your query.

Need to relax.

Analgesic like paracetamol help to reduce headache.

It is stress and it cab be reduced by making certain lifestyle modifications.

Some natural ways to treat anxiety and daily stress are

Exercise ,meditation
Relaxation like deep breathing and hyperventilation

Proper sleep and healthy diet.

Stress free activity
Do pleasurable activity
Music and hobbies
Positive outlook and confidence
All this will help you to counter daily stress


Medicines like mild dose of benzodiazapine and mild dose of SSRI.
Benzodiazapine will help in sleep and reduce stress due to its anxiolytic effect.

In SSRI mild dose of escitalopram and paroxetine like drug is very useful,but before taking this medicines you have to consult psychiatrist

Thank you.
