I Have Troubles With Anxiety Right When I Wake Up
Question: I have troubles with anxiety right when I wake up and the evening. It's something that I can only control when I take benadryl. The symptoms almost completely go away when I take this. I believe it could have something to do with histamine. I was sick last week with what I believed was a stomach virus but i'm not sure.
Brief Answer:
provide symptoms of your anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend. Thanks for the question. Benadryl do not have any direct anxiety action, though it might induce mild drowsiness. You must have made a mental relationship between those two which might be the reason for the clearing up of anxiety symptoms.
Please provide your anxiety symptoms, flare points, triggering incidents, duration etc so that I can help you.

It’s mostly in the mornings and evenings, and I just get very scared sometimes. I was sick last week so I think I’m in fear of getting sick again. I notice I can calm myself down at certain points so it doesn’t seem like a physical health issue. But when I’m having anxiety in the morning and evening thrrr are physical symptoms of naseua, fear, etc
Brief Answer:
Could be short term issue.
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, Thanks for the follow up. When a person face some extreme negative life event (extreme and negative are personal perceptions and is purely individual), it is common that they get stressed and anxious.
Because your present symptoms were presented few days ago and as you have health related anxiety, the given symptoms can be counted as acute. Therefore once you take it normal and do your day to day activities, the symptoms should slowly pass.
Instead of benadryl, you can chew any nut or spice like cumin seed or even gum to get relief from anxiety symptoms.
Do you feel palpitations?
Do you experience restlessness, dry mouth, breathing difficulty or sleeplessness?
your age?
What is that health issue?
what is your profession?
family?
friends?
Exercise?
Yoga or meditation?
Please provide all information.
