Anxiety & depression, vertigo & gastro
The practo doctor I consulted for a patient on 21 May prescribed symptomatic medicines (Taxim o-200 2 times, Panwar DSR 2 times, Vertizen 16 2 times) for 5 days for vertigo and gastro issues. The patient has relief but some symptoms persist. She had covid like symptoms early April but pcr test came out to be negative on 21 April. In Feb, a hospital doctor prescribed (Dayperon 10 3 times, Thyronorm 50 1 time, Rabemac 20 1 time, Vaspram 10 1 time, BioD3 plus 1 time, Trixide 1 time, Exilam 0.25 1 time). These medicines are discontinued as she could not see the doctor. The practo doctor consulted last week refused to prescribe anxiety and depression medications. Currently, the patient has shivering and diziness while standing, high BP have been found earlier, restlessness and nervousness. Looking for an experienced general physician to consult online who can holistically prescribe the medications (including anxiety & depression if required)? Thanks

She will need a full evaluation because of multiple symptoms.
She could have hypothyroidism which explains her initial symptoms.( depression, gastro troubles)
And restlessness, nervousness due to side-effect of thyronorm (what duration was the medicine taken)
Was a thyroid profile repeated?

Health Tips
anxiety pills cannot be prescribed on online tele-consults( govt of India guidelines)
please seek a proper offline evaluation of patient for early diagnosis and accurate treatment.
(if you just keep treating the pt symptomatically, the underlying disease will be missed, hence do not delay)
