Im really stressed

[rebajayne]

Im feeling really stressed at the moment, I get it quite a lot, ive broke out in a rash all over my face, ive had headache for 8 days and now ive started to go dizzy.
Ive been to the doc's and she has give me tablets to help the headaches.
Ive been on tablets to calm my stress before, they worked but the effects when i came off them where terrible, i couldnt go on them again.
Can you reccomend any herbal remidies i can try, or any thing that has helped you if you've been in the same situation.

Sorry you are feeling so awful rebajayne. Get some 'Kalms' from the chemist. This is a natural remedy and easy to take. They also do a night version to help you sleep. Stick to the directions on the bottle though please. Make sure your diet is healthy. You might also want to take some vitamins and echinacea. Any good health food shop will advise you on safe things to take. Also, try making your bathroom very nice and cozy with candles and incense, take a long bath and just try to relax. You might want to check with the doctor about your rash first though before using bath oils. Another thing you can do is go for a massage, preferably a holistic one like an Indian massage, as these are usually more relaxing. Best wishes. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you are feeling so bad, have you any idea what is causing the stress because obviously you need to address this. Or perhaps you just get stressed for no reason with something like 'generalised anxiety disorder' .... in which case perhaps you need to see a psychologist or psychiatrist and get some deeper help.

Hi thanks for your reply's. after posting the question last night i tucked my self up in bed and then out of no where a panic attack came on, so i took some calms and rang my mum and talked about anything and eveything, i calmed myself down by doing that.
I do know what's causing the problems, my 5 yr old son just started school, and ive had trouble with his behaviour for a long time, he had a few days where he was bad at school, although his teacher is beeing very good about it, i just get so worried what people will think about me and him, I know thats wrong its the way ive always been.
Im thinking once he settles in it will get better.
Although my rash has settled its still under my skin, only on my forhead now thou.
I will try the herbal shop in our local market ask her what she thinks.
Thanks again

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information available at http://tinyurl.com/q8696
