How Can Stress And Anxiety During Pregnancy Be Treated?

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant. Have been a heavy medical mariguana user for about 7 years. Due to back pain, lack of hunger and trouble sleeping, stress and anxiety. I stopped as soon as I found out. However, now that I haven t done that my stress, my anxiety, trouble sleeping, back pain and lack of hunger as well as nervous breakdowns have started happening. I guess my question is what should I do about this situation and what should be my next step? I literally cannot sleep and my back is killing me and I am just stressing soooo much. I don t know what to do:( I need an advice and / or opinion even past experiences. Anything is helpful. Thank you so much!

General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.

If symptoms persist better to consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.

Anti-anxiety meds may be required in that case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
