Relaxation exercises: There's a type of psychological help for test anxiety known as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Many anxious people also find relief by learning and practicing relaxation exercises. Be sure to ask your doctor. Good luck! "dr. Z"
p.S. I agree with dr. Bey who recommends also contacting your school re testing options. Many students find an alternative testing situation to be helpful.

Question 4

i'm 49 years old and i'm on bp medication every time i use the medication i get so hot and sweat but when i stop using it i feel okay, i was wondering?

Accepted Answer

BP: You may want to check your blood pressure after taking the medicine. There is a chance it may be lowering the blood pressure excessively which may be causing these symptoms perhaps especially when you stand up. If that is the case you may need to adjust the dosage or if you still cannot tolerate this potential side effect then maybe change the medicine altogether. Talk to your primary care doctor.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

It may matter: Certain medications are more effective if taken at certain times. Also, some medications need to timed around meals or activities. Blood pressure medications, cholesterol medications, osteoporosis medications and some antibiotics would be some examples of these. Consult with the prescribing doctor or the pharmacist for more information.

Your pharmacist: should be able to provide you with both verbal and written information about the safe use of the medication.

Question 9

what is the best medication for night-time cough

Accepted Answer

Nighttime cough: If the cough is a back of the throat tickle due to mucous draining down from the nose and sinuses when you first lie down, i personally find the most effective medication to be a mixture of Phenergan (promethazine) and Codeine cough syrup. If the nighttime cough is happening in the middle of the night associated with a sensation of tightness or wheezing in the chest, asthma inhalers will be more effective.

Question 10
