You had a tough expe­rience, it see­ms. The symptoms like nervousne­ss, sweating, throwing up, and difficulty sleeping could point to anxie­ty. Anxiety can sometimes cause­ physical signs including stomach issues. Try to calm down by taking deep bre­aths and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. If symptoms don't go away, speaking to an expert could provide­ more help.

I take Sertraline for anxiety and depression and I am going to have my first tattoo done and don't no if the Sertraline has blood thinners in it. Many Thanks.

Male | 47

Sertraline is a medicine often used for anxiety and depression. Tattooing does not contain blood thinners but may result in minor bleeding. Thus it’s important to inform the tattoo artist about your intake of Sertraline so that they can take necessary precautions. To prevent any complications ensure you adhere to their aftercare advice.

I have recently increased my anixety & nervousness....and I have suffered from emotional break...

Female | 29

Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

The stress from work and the pressure to perform can really take a toll on our mental health. It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Depression and schizophrenia are serious conditions that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, genetic predisposition, and life events. Seeking help from a psychiatrist  was a good first step. The medication he prescribed, olanzapine, is commonly used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it can sometimes cause mood swings as a side effect. It's crucial to communicate openly with psychiatrist about these side effects so he can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Dealing with stomach issues like ulcers and GERD on top of everything else must be incredibly challenging. Pantoprazole is a standard treatment for these conditions, but it's essential to follow up with your gastroenterologist regularly to ensure it's effectively managing your symptoms. In terms of your current job situation at SBI, it sounds like the demands are adding to your stress levels. It might be helpful to have an open conversation with your manager about how you're feeling. Exploring stress management techniques, like mindfulness or exercise, could also be beneficial.
