I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Blood pressure increases when we first wake up due to the body's normal circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is a 24-hour cycle that affects our sleep/wake patterns. In the morning, the body releases hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Asked for male, 67 years old from Ahmedabad

I am diabetic since 25 years. I maintain hba1c within 6.3 - 6.7. serum creatinine (scr) was 1.06 one year bak, recently I found it to be increased to 1.14. I repeated the test after 10 days and the same was 1.24. Does the increasing trend in scr indicate ckd/diabetic nephropathy? Urine protein is normal at macro and micro level. Sugar is controlled. No edema, bp normal. In this case, how to stop/slow down increasing trend of scr?

Dear, bipolar disorder needs to be managed properly. In fact, almost all psychiatric medicines manage mental illness. You need to take it positive and learn to live life with satisfaction. Work hard, play games, entertainy ourself, enjoy life etc. These are the steps necessary to manage your bipolar. If you worry more, the conditions worsens.

Health Query

I keep on getting cough and blocked noses by every 3-4 months with headaches. But now from previously for sometime I am experiencing headaches wherever I do some extra physical activity. With that when I first contacted ENT he told me its allergy and gave me some medication and later after 1 month when I visited again he referred me to a Neurologist saying its neurological migraine. And the neurologist gave me divalproex extended release tabs. What to do. Should I continue ?

Divalproex shall certainly help you. In case it does not help you to the maximum, then visit your neurologist again and get the dosages adjusted. If it still troubles you and if you want a complete relief, then you can try an integrative medical approach with both allopathy and homeopathy, as it can give you the best results and complete relief.

Generally speaking, before starting medicines from a psychiatrist, it is advisable to get psycho-diagnostic testing done to determine what is the nature of symptoms- is it psychological ârequiring counselling/psychotherapy or does the symptom require medicines from a psychiatrist. HOWEVER, WHEN SYMPTOMS ARE NO LONGER NORMAL OR TOUCHING UPON INSANITY, SEE A PSYCHIATRIST IMMEDIATELY. PSYCHIATRIST IS MBBS PLUS MD IN PSYCHIATRY- HE GIVES MEDICINES ONLY.

Yes you can take. But as you mentioned you have depression and soft mania. If you are diagnosed as bipolar disorder then generally ssris are not prescribed. Instead of duloxetine or escitalopram you can request your psychiatrist to consider quitipin instead.

You are on suboptimal prophylactic dosage of medicines, possibly you are experiencing subsyndromal affective symptoms. Medicines need to be titrated in you which is possible only with consultation. Moreover you need to learn chronological and behavioral aspect of disorder in order to sustain normal mood state. This is an important aspect of bipolar disorder which if taken care along with medicines makes excellent outcome.
