What causes irritability and trouble in sleeping?
Patient: hi, i am worried i have anxiety. i get irritated and annoyed very easily, always tired/stressed, trouble sleeping and cringe at any simple sound.. mostly chewing. i also have hypothyroidism and I'm afraid this is why i feel this way. i spend most of time in my room because i feel most comfortable there rather than in the living room with my family because they're loud and i can't take the sound of there chewing Doctor: HiI had gone through your query.Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problem like insomnia and irritation.Need to evaluate underlying stress and depression.Hypothyroidism also associated with depression.Antidepressant like escitalopram/sertraline/peroxetine etc can useful to regulate your mood and irritation.Anxiolytic like etizolam/clonazepam will be useful for sleep and anxiety.But you have require proper consultation before taking any medicines.So consult and get better assistance.Still if you have query then feel free to ask me on directly on http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-vishal-garala/68046Thank you.
