Please what can I do next?

Hi, I’m 22 years old and early March this year, I got sick of malaria and typhoid. During the time of getting medications, I got anxiety and ever since I have been struggling with it. Started taking medications for it like black seed oil and honey. Though that helped for some time, but noticed that my sugar level and PCV level is now low. So now I’m struggling with anxiety and both PCV and sugar level. I’ve been in and out of the hospital since March. I’m getting tired of it.

Hi

I'm sorry you're going through this. What a terrible ordeal for you over the last 5 to 6 months.

I've no personal experience of these illnesses nor the black seed oil & honey remedies, but a few things come to mind:

Are you drinking plenty of water? (Does it need to be boiled?)

Are you able to eat a healthy balanced diet now ?

Are you eating bananas? One every morning?

Do you still suffer from diarrhea? If so have you been prescribed Rehydration/Electrolytes replacement drinks sachets?

Are you still under a hospital consultant?

Still being investigated and treated for the abnormal blood tests results?

Are all your other bloods ok?

When I had Campylobacter poisoning I got it so bad my face looked like a skull. I couldn't eat proper food for a long time.

You could try Pepsi or Classic Coca Cola. Preferably flat. Fox's Glacier Mints which are made from Glucose and Peppermjnt Oil, Mint Imperials and Fox's Glacier Fruits, if you're not eating properly yet. Toast or Rice cakes and seedless strawberry jam.

If you are eating a full diet and drinking plenty of water, then I would call or go back to your doctor about your present concerns - both your anxiety and low blood results .

I don’t drink that much water but I drink coke very often and which also resulted to my weight gain. I went to the hospital some few days ago to check my blood level and luckily for me, it’s ok. My sugar level too. When I complained to my doctor, she said with time I will feel better. But can’t bear the weakness mixed with the anxiety I’m feeling plus the dizziness. Thanks for your reply ☺️

You said your sugar level is low ??

Maybe you should give up the Coke and try to drink more water. Try a glass or two first thing in the morning before breakfast. Then eat a banana followed by cereal or eggs. Drink a glass of water before and after every meal and last drink of the evening.

Build up a healthy light exercise routine, starting with 5 minutes walking each day & increase to half hour every day.

Thanks for your help. Will do this starting from tomorrow🙏🏻☺️

I recall that no-one seemed to understand what I went through when I had the Campylobacter poisoning. I think what you've been through is much worse.

Hope you start to feel better soon.

Here if you need to talk again. So keep in touch if you'd like to.

God Bless x

ps

Forgot to mention that the caffeine in the Coke would contibute to your anxiety. If you could stick to plain water, decaffeinated tea or coffee and weak squash. Fresh fruit juice .

Your blood sugar being low could cause anxiety.
