Specializes in Internal Medicine

Exercise : Exercise is a great way to get rid of that anxious feeling. Drink chamomile tea and take a hot bath when you can. You need some time for yourself. If possible, even get put of the house alone or with a group of girls! it's great just to be around adults and away from the kids when you can.
