Rec. dev. extreme phobia for house gecko, tiniest ones, within last 2 months to the extent that I am - unable to go out, do my day to day tasks, study, sleep alone in the room, in the dark...unable to do any of it. Previously, I was studying, preparing just fine, infact was very much productive and focused. But I live alone on the 1st floor, with just 1 room, which opens to the open roof outside, and I started encountering baby geckos beginning June, and within that week, encountered around 10 small house geckos, became extr. conscious, aware, start. fearing, and within a week it went extreme, that with the thought that I had to go out to use washroom, I started to feel the anxiety, shivering. I didnt go out alone for a month with anxiety, fear, phobia, depress thoughts, but recently I started to overcome my fear, to restore to my senses, but now unable to sleep alone in the room, keeping the lights off, fearing that a very tiny lizard will enter the room, climb on the bed or fall.
I feel dizzy in some situations, and it feels like I might fall down. At first, it only happened at night, but now it also happens when I perform the evening aarti, when I sit on the back seat of a two-wheeler, and in some other situations. It mostly happens when I am around other people, but not when I am alone. Because of this, it is affecting my daily life.
I have taken dveniz 50 for 2 year, d venlor 50 for 2 year, velnof er 50 for 1 year but recently changed to generic desvenlaxine 50 since 15 days , iam getting constant feeling of fear and anxiety in chest , always afraid and worried.
what could be the reason and solution for this problem?
Hello Doctor,
I want to inform you about a side effect I am experiencing with Flunil 40 mg. After taking the 40 mg dose, I feel a sharp burning/pain-like sensation below my throat and in the upper chest area. It feels like a sharp pain, but it usually lasts for around 30 minutes after taking the medicine and then settles down.
Around 6–7 months ago, I experienced the same problem when I was taking Flunil 40 mg. At that time, I consulted at J.J. Hospital, and when the dose was reduced to 10 mg, this problem stopped.
Now, I have started taking Flunil 40 mg again as advised by a Practo doctor, and the same throat and upper chest pain/burning sensation has started again. I do not feel stomach irritation; the problem is mainly in the throat and upper chest area after taking the 40 mg dose.
Please advise whether this could be a side effect of the dose and whether any change is needed.
Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing a problem for a long time. I do not usually feel afraid of ordinary people, but whenever I have to talk to a professional woman (such as a receptionist, HR staff, bank employee, hospital staff, or office employee), my heart starts beating very fast.
I repeatedly think that if I do not know something or make a mistake, she will judge me, think I am uneducated or foolish, or humiliate me. Because of these thoughts, I feel extremely anxious and nervous before approaching them or speaking to them.
This problem also happens in banks, hospitals, offices, reception desks, and other professional settings. Could you please tell me what mental health condition these symptoms may be related to and what treatment or therapy would be most appropriate?
Thank you.
