Hi,

The most important thing here is stress management.

I am writing down a few of the strategies that will help you in the management of stress leading to a reduction of your anger and other symptoms.
1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber. Servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits (One preferable citrus fruit). Orange is a good source of anti-oxidants. Avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza, burgers and excessive sweets.
2. Ensure adequate water intake: Follow the rule of 1 which I usually advise. 1 glass of water 1 hour before and 1 glass of water 1 hour after every meal will ensure adequate consumption of water. I recommend an intake of water is 2 to 3 liter a day. Insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in the causation of symptoms.
3. Early morning exercise: Walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in garden will be very helpful. Walking is the best exercise, it also promotes the release of endorphins (naturally occurring painkillers released in the brain) which causes mood elevation and a generalized feeling of well being. Make it a daily habit and incorporate into your lifestyle.
4. Avoid tea/coffee/nicotine and alcoholic beverages: If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water. It is very much refreshing.
5. Start your day with a glass of Lemon water with 2 spoons of honey added. have a good breakfast.
6. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self-trying to understand our own needs.

Spend time with your family and friends who ever seems understanding you.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
