Hi Sir, I Have Been Feeling Restless Since Last 4-5

Posted on Wed, 1 Jul 2020

Question: Hi Sir,
I have been feeling restless since last 4-5 days. I unusually woke up very early on 1st June(Mon) and was highly anxious and also was'nt able to speak much. The situation around me felt abnormal and highly suspicious. I faced similar issue the next morning as well when I could'nt sleep well and woke up very early and wanted to talk with all the family memers instantaneously.
Kindly note that I was stressed out since last few weeks before the event.

I have been experiencing the following issues since last 4-5 days:
- Minor change in behaviour
- Restlessness and lack of sleep in initial 2days
- Repetative actions like walking at times
- Change in taste
- Headache and excessive sweating for initial 2 days
- Weakness
I seem to be feeling better from yesterday after good sleep. I have consulted and been advised the following medicine from the local doctor. It will be helpful if you can please advice on the same:
1. Petril MD 0.25 for 5days
2. Tolperitas SR 450 (1 tab for 10days)
3. Tab Prothiaden M 75(1 tab for 2months)
4. Tab Palmiges (1 tab for 2months)
5. Tab Zolsoma 5 (1tab for 20days)
6. Syrup Cobatus (2tspfor 1month)
7. Inj Rejunex forte ( Once a week for 4weeks)

Best regards

Brief Answer:
Seems to be related to anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted the clinical details. The symptoms seem to be related to acute anxiety attack.

The medicines seem to be along the correct lines.

Petril MD relieves anxiety.

Prothiaden M also relieves anxiety.

Zolsoma is for sleep. Petril MD and Prothiaden M also have sleep inducing effects.

Cobatus and Rejunex forte are vitamins. Palmiges is good for nerve pain and discomfort.

You may continue the medicines. As you get better, the doctor would reduce the dose when you meet him for review.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)

Thank you for your response and explanations sir.
I am feeling better in the last few days and have started with all the prescribed medicines.

I just wanted to share a few more observations which I may have missed stating in previous conversations. It will be helpful if you can please advice whether I need to take some precautions. Also I am worried about being normal and the risks I may have in the future.

Few observations before 1st XXXXXXX '20:
1. I was feeling highly stressed since last few months due to professional and personal issues.
2. I had a mild headache and body pain whenever I woke up in the morning.
3. I was highly analytical in studying the root causes of different issues.

Few observations/changes after 1st XXXXXXX '20:
1. I am facing difficulty in processing complex statements.
2. The very recent memories seems to be affected.
3. My personality seems to be changed a bit with changed behaviour and moods.
4. I have a small swealing on right side of the head.

Thanks a lot for your support so far!

Brief Answer:
Neuro-psychological assessment is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back with more information.

I have noted the clinical details. It would be useful for you to get a detailed neuro-psychological assessment done. This would ascertain more details regarding cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, etc. This would help in further treatment also.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
