Suggest treatment for stress , seizure and anxiety disorder
Patient: Hi. My husband has been under a lot of stress lately. Due to my health issues. I have recently in the last month been having seizures, these are new onset seizures. I have never had one before. He has never had blood pressure problems until now, and has never had a major anxiety disorder until now. Recent;y, his blood pressure hasn't been below 152/98 and the highest its been is 178/118. He has been started on a BP medication Atenelol, but has been experiencing numbness in his right hand on his ring finger and pinky finger. It is constant, and its starting to get to where its worrying me! Should we ask his Dr to change his med? Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I can understand. High blood pressure could be due to the anxiety disorder associated with your health issues, as well as white collar syndrome. Thinking about having his blood pressure checked might trigger high blood pressure. His anxiety also needed to be managed. You should talk to your doctor regarding this. After thorough check up, on finding nothing is wrong organically, you should request your husband to consult a psychologist for anxiety related behavior and cognitive therapy. He should be alright within months.If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
