Hello! From past few days i am feeling restless, uneasy, breathless and not able to sleep properly.  Due to some mishappening at home i am tensed and now BP shoots up at night.  May be i have cough and sometimes feeling of acidity problem may be the reason.  On last saturday my BP was 102/142/98 and got ECG done it was ok.  The doctor prescribed Alprax 0.25mg. What do you suggest shall i continue taking this medicine everyday as yesterday i was not able to sleep

Hello, welcome to Healthcare Magic. From your history, it appear that you have anxiety symptoms. These symptoms can occur in anxiety disorders and in adjustment disorder due to severe stress in life. It is better to take help from friends and family members to resolve tension in family environment. Same time problem solving and supportive counseling from psychologist will be helpful. To de-stress yourself do relaxation exercise like daily morning brisk walk, yoga and meditation. As you have sleep disturbance you can use alprax (for few days only) as advised by your physician. Also monitor BP daily to rule out hypertension in your case. Wish you all the best. Regards, Dr Ashish Kumar Mittal www.99doctor.com
