my medication makes me irritable is there anything that can help?

Question

What's the best medication to prevent irritability?

Answer 1

Speak to physician: Don't know what the meds are or if they are the cause of your irritability. Could be hormonal. Discuss with your physician.

Answer 2

Certainly: Some light natural methods would be daily meditation to get yourself centered. Learning to prioritize issues will help to put things in perspective for you. Essential oils of lavender and citrus inhaled from the hand helps to calm and focus you. Medications are available for OCD and of course therapeutic counseling to teach coping skills and explore issues www.Medac4u.Com.

Answer 3

Perfectionism: is often associated w/procrastination and the struggle to do things exactly so they get put off and anxiety cycles. Self-help can include a book called "Feeling Good" by David Burns but seeing a clinical psychologist is primary. Peace and good health.

Answer 4

Cellular level: Irritability refers to enhanced ability of the heart cells to generate an electrical impulse (known as action potential). This happens when a substance referred to as cyclic amp increases in the heart cell causing increased entry of calcium into the cell. With increased calcium, the heart cell both fire impulses rapidly as well as contract vigorously. I will go over some of the causes next.

Answer 5

Causes are many many: Some of the causes that may increase irritability include anything that results in high adrenaline levels (fear, anxiety, dehydration, pain, anemia , severe other illness etc.), low potassium and magnesium levels, high calcium levels, medication such as cold remedies with decongestants, excessive alcohol and caffeine, inflammation or injury to the heart muscles as in heart attack and myocarditis.

Answer 6

Ventricular irritab: Assuming you are referring to pvc's or premature ventricular contractions - besides myocardial ischemia the most common cause i see is caffeine ingestion - followed by stimulant ingestion ie pseudofed. Cocaine and other illicit drugs as well as add drugs can cause irritability as well. Elimination of these will generally solve the problem if not its time to see a cardiologist.

Answer 7

Diet: The most common day to day cause to ventricular irritability of an otherwise normally functioning heart is poor diet and electrolyte imbalance.

Answer 8

Yes: Irritability can be a symptom of a number of medical conditions. It is a common symptom of depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Sleep deprivation caused by any condition can make a person irritable. Withdrawing from nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, or other drugs can cause the symptom. Chronic pain or stress can do it. So can an overactive thyroid or a hormone imbalance. See your doc.

Answer 9

Need more info...: Are there any other concerns. Are sleeping ok? Is you energy too high? Do people tell you - slow down? I guess if you are seeking the answer, it bothers you. Why don't you see a psychiatrist who could help you to sort out your problems? Sometimes people don't feel sick, because the illness may trick you....

Answer 10

Sleep: First you need a good history and physical to determine underlying reasons for irritability. It may be a diet issue. You may be stressed, sleep deprived, or have neurotransmitter imbalance. If you never have nay down time and are very intense that can contribute. Diet changes, sleep and homeopathic remedies. Consider seeing an acupuncturist/chinese medicine practitioner.
