MENTAL HEALTH EFFECT SINCE CORONA VIRUS STARTS

As we all know that man is a social animal and this corona virus is forcing people to Social Isolation. People have to maintain social distancing which is creating a distance between people and their mental health which makes individuals feel alienated. It is affecting daily lives of people.

In the fear of risking our physical health we are ignoring our mental health. This pandemic has widen the horizon of mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, fear, depression etc. It is something that is really important to look into but we often overlook it.

Here are few points which are leading to the negative mental health:-

·         Empty pockets are making people’s mind heavy. Incomes are getting affected in this pandemic but expenditures are not whether it comes to schools’ and colleges’ fee, electricity bills, ration, rents, EMIs etc.

 ·         Change is always difficult. This pandemic has changed the way we live which is really hard to accept. People can go out only when it is essential so it is stressful for those who love outing. Wearing Mask is the new rule.

 ·         People are being self-quarantined which is promoting negative mental health, it seems like after COVID pandemic the world is on verge of another major issue that is ‘Mental Health’.

 ·         This pandemic gave people time to overthink and media is acting as a catalyst in this process because they are just focusing on this one and only issue ‘COVID-19’ which should not be. They exaggerate the news beyond the truth sometimes to increase viewership and TRP which absolutely does not come under media ethics.

 ·         Domestic violence has increased, exposure to phone, tablets, laptops etc. has increased.

 ·         Unemployment has increased, people are running out of money. They are worried how are they going to earn for their livelihood and it is more stressful for those who are the only bread earner of their family.

 ·         Circulation of fake news increased and social media platforms has made it easier, a good platform for sharing is being used negatively. And people trust these easily because they believe why their relatives or friends will share false information. Fake news is creating a whirlpool of stress.

 1.       Always check for grammatical mistakes in the message

2.       Check the date

3.       Check the source

4.       Check whether it is forwarded or not            

5.       Factscheck.org and snippet.com are the websites where someone can recheck the news

 ·         Suicide rate has increased internationally, we can’t deny this fact that no one wants to share about their mental health especially in India people fear to share because they think people will call them mad after knowing this, and we never opt for counselling. Also, we never take this issue on a serious note. If in case someone shares about their mental health, generally they get advice ‘talk to people, listen to some music’ etc. which is not a solution.

 ·         People who lost their family members, relatives and loved ones because of this corona virus are badly affected in terms of mental health which is nearly impossible to overcome totally.

 ·         People fall back on Smoking and drugs intake to overcome this anxiety, stress and depression. Especially it has been seen in youths who rely on drugs and smoking when they feel alone, when they deal with mental stress, anxiety or depression. Because of Social isolation this risk has increased.

 ·         Many people are gaining weight which eventually led to mental stress and they go to you tube videos to see how they can reduce their fat, and the videos claims that “get rid of fats in just 10 days” “1 week fat reduce challenge” by doing exercise just for 10 minutes which is really false promise, they use these keywords for the sake of SEO.

 ·         People who are stuck in other places, those who are not with their family members are dealing with negative mental health, they are facing double stress.

 There are some ways through which we can deal with this situation and fight against this pandemic:-

 ·         Communicate: Divert your mind from the worries and communicate about your problems to whoever you trust. Communication helps to get relaxation.

 ·         Support: let’s start supporting each other. Support all those mental health warriors to whom you can. Supporting each other can make this world a better place to live.

 ·         Social media platforms: yes, we are forced to not socialize, but we can do this virtually. Technology is touching its peak so let’s use this for our well-being. Connect with your friends and family and yes talk to them. Don’t indulge yourself into the negative aspects of social media.

 ·         Self-care: care for yourself, give some quality time to yourself. Do exercise, meditation etc. be productive, keep yourself busy. Every day is a new day to live and learn so just don’t waste it.

 ·         Hope: Nothing is permanent in this world. Whatever comes always goes. Where there is will there is a way. Believe in yourself and keep faith.

Mental Health is also Important

   Have you ever heard of the term “mental illness”? It used to be in our sub-conscious mind that, a person suffering from “mental illness” must be a mad man or a typical psychopath. Sometimes the person can also become a sociopath to the society. Actually, nowadays in our 21st century, we are so engrossed in technology, we are becoming more and more prone to mental illness.  When a person is mentally and emotionally strong, then he or she is said to be mentally healthy. What is meant by emotionally strong? Emotions, actually, are the subjective state of mind. Crying, laughing, excitement- these all are emotions. When a person has to be a strong grasp on her emotions- we call him emotionally strong, and, when a person gets affected by emotions way too easily, we call him an emotionally weak person. Being an emotionally strong person, is really important because it affects our mind and hence our mental health. Mental health keeps our brain and emotional health in a very good shape. Just like physical fitness, mental fitness can be achieved in a variety of ways. The most important way is to keep an active interest around you, it helps to exercise our brain and hence our mental health. Next to that, we should challenge our intellect and memory quite frequently by doing crosswords or playing chess. And lastly, always take up a new hobby, so it will exercise your brain in a better way.

Migraine

By Arush Emmanuel Michael

Migraine is a disorder in which there is a pulsating headache. The headache comes in attacks lasting in a range of 4-48 hours and is commonly restricted unilaterally.

There are basically two types of migraine, classical migraine and common migraine. A classical migraine shows the presence of aura while the common migraine does not.

 A migraine can be divided into 5 stages which include the prodrome stage, aura, main attack, resolution and finally recovery or postdrome stage.

 A person having a migraine may show the following symptoms in the respective phases:

1)     Prodrome Stage: Constipation, mood changes, food cravings and frequent urination

2)     Aura:  Pins and needles sensation, difficulty speaking, weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body.

3)     Main Attack: unilateral headache, photosensitivity (sensitivity to light) , nausea and vomiting

4)     Postdrome Stage: Confusion and weakness

A person experiencing the above symptoms should consult a physician who shall make the appropriate diagnosis and prescribe a treatment if necessary.

A migraine can be triggered by a number of factors like caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, changes in sleep pattern, stress, bright lighting, use of tobacco, hormonal changes and medications like oral contraceptives. If a person is under stress for whatever reason, they are also at a high risk of developing a migraine. Hormonal changes especially in woman during pregnancy and menopause can also result in a migraine. Not eating enough or eating certain food products might also be a trigger apart from the factors mentioned above.

There are two theories which can explain why migraines actually occur- The Vascular Theory and the Neurogenic theory. The Vascular theory suggests cerebral ischaemia as a cause while the Neurogenic theory blames a depression of cortical electrical activity.

According to the specific frequency and intensity of migraines the treatment of migraines is adjusted. The drugs are prescribed accordingly to the patient, if a patient finds it difficult to go personally and buy them they can always order medicines online in India.

The severity of a migraine may be mild, moderate and severe. On the basis of the severity of the migraine the treatment and the drugs prescribed vary.

Mild Migraine: Patient having lesser than one attack per month of headache.

Simple analgesic like paracetamol or aspirin may suppress and abort most mild attacks. Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory  Drugs (NSAIDs)  such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen either alone or in combination with an antihistamine or sedative are found more responsive in some patients. Antiemetics like metoclopramide relieve gastric stasis and nausea.

Moderate Migraine: There are one or more attacks per month of more intense headache accompanied by nausea or vomiting or both. Stronger NSAIDs are more  beneficial with the combinations mentioned above in such cases. Antiemetics are needed to ward of gastric symptoms.  Triptans like Sumatriptan can also be used for patients who don’t respond to NSAID’s.

Severe Migraine : Patient has 2-3 attacks per month of severe headache with vomiting and other symptoms. Specific antimigraine drugs needs to be prescribed i.e. Triptan’s and Ergot Alkaloid’s accompanied with antiemetics. Along with these medicines a prophylactic regimen to prevent recurrence of attacks is also prescribed.

If a person is experiencing any of the symptoms of a migraine they should immediately consult a physician for the same. Self medication can be harmful and should not be done. According to your symptoms and the type of migraine you’re suffering from you will be prescribed a drug regimen. With the current pandemic going on, it is a great help that you can buy medicines online with discount.

A migraine can result in your day to day activities being affected leading to you being lesser productive and resulting in your whole life taking a step back. Therefore, it is imperative that if your life is being affected by the symptoms of a migraine you go to a health care centre and get yourself diagnosed because the cause of a headache can be a multitude of conditions ranging from minor to fatal. But the bright side is that a migraine or most of the conditions in today’s day and age are treatable and preventable the only condition is that a person consults a physician at the latest so that the appropriate steps be taken for a person to live a healthier and more productive lifestyle.

COVID-19 AND DIABETES: EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MANAGE THE CONDITION

“Diabetes is dynamite for person with COVID-19: Ex-WHO advisor

Zimmet, who is President International Diabetes Federation, added that the actual mechanism as to why COVID-19 may cause diabetes is as yet unknown.”    - THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS

“COVID-19 may trigger new diabetes, experts say” – THE HINDU

As you have seen, these are the recent newspaper titles that have been gaining more attention due to the confusions and ambiguity regarding how corona virus causes diabetes and cause harm for diabetic patients.

THE CLASH OF COVID-19 AND DIABETES

Paul Zimmet, Professor of Diabetes, Monash University, Australia has said that 30-40 per cent of deaths from studies in intensive care units from different countries are people with diabetes. Also he said that COVID-19 is a cunning virus making it unclear about how does it cause diabetes.

Studies in intensive care units regarding deaths caused by covid-19 has found that the complications of the virus like pneumonia are seen in diabetic patients with poor metabolic control or high blood sugar.

Diabetes is associated with chronic conditions like obesity, hypertension and heart disease which make it more risky for the diabetic patients to get infected.

COVID-19 INSTIGATING DIABETES

As for now the actual mechanism of how covid-19 affects glucose metabolism and cause diabetes is unknown. But through certain studies it is found out that the ACE-2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), which binds to SARS-Cov-2 to reach targeted cells in basically affected  lungs are also located in other organs and tissues involved in glucose metabolism.

So this might be how covid-19 lead to damaging pancreas tissues and disrupts cellular metabolism resulting in an onset of diabetes. But still it is not perfectly clear and further studies are continued to gain better understanding of this matter.

KILLER COVID-19 FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS

How does covid-19 affect diabetic patients ?

The co morbidity of having diabetes may become a risk factor for becoming infected with covid-19 because diabetic patients have a compromised immunity. A case of poor metabolic control or a high blood sugar environment may become favorable for covid-19 to enter the human body.

Moreover, many patients with diabetes also have hypertension (high blood pressure) and are treated with a type of medication like ACE inhibitors which appear to make it easier for the virus to affect the cells.

Besides the lock down may pose some trouble for diabetic patients to keep up with their regular checkups and also lack of physical activity may cause a rise in blood sugar.

Don’t worry!

Let the stress go down.

EFFECTIVE WAY TO MANAGE DURING THIS CRISIS

Like everyone else follow the basic measures to be taken to tackle with covid-19. Wash your hands frequently and wear a mask whenever you go out to protect yourself. Maintain social distancing.

Keep yourself away from people with any respiratory illness or symptoms. If you have normal flu or cold, avoid going out. Stay home and be safe.

Other than these you could keep a check on necessary food essentials to keep your diabetic diet intact. Make sure to keep your eating habits emphasizing on immunity boosting food items.

Avoid sharing food, utensils, towels and other tools with others.

Keep your blood sugars under control through regular monitoring.

Wash your hands before you give yourself a finger stick or insulin shot if needed.

Maintain physical and mental health. Keep your body moving and avoid anxiety and stress. Maintain contact with your loved ones and exercise regularly. Also take a proper amount of sleep to keep you energetic.

Drink adequate amount of water. If it’s a hot climate in your place chances of becoming dehydrated are more and may cause a rise in sugar level.  

Keep relevant contact details of doctors and hospitals. Also make sure you have someone for assistance wherever you are staying.

Don’t stress yourself but keep yourself updated with authoritative information regarding covid-19 through government apps and WHO guidelines.

If at all you seem to have any symptoms of illness like mild fever, cough, shortness of breath or a sudden rise in sugar levels, immediately contact with the state helpline numbers or seek proper medical attention.

Make use of the advanced technology- use glucometers, pedometers, digital clinics, diabetes apps, healthcare and pharmacy app like 3MEDS to keep a check on your diabetes.

Also make sure you have a good supply of diabetic medicines. For best online delivery service of essential medicines and health care products visit www.3meds.com.

10 Proven Healthy tips for better sleep - 3MEDS

We all crave for that long and relaxing sleep of minimum 6 to 8 hours. But many of us can’t even manage to sleep for even 2 to 3. A good sleep not only helps us to work better by increasing our productivity potential but also helps in balancing our emotional and physical health. Many researches have stated that our sleep patterns are directly linked with our body weight.

Lack of sleep can lead to several health issues:

It is no-brainer that sleep deprivation triggers our body and mind in many ways including –

  Insomnia

  Depression

  Aging of skin

  Irregular heartbeat

  High Blood pressure

  Lowers concentration level

  Reduces problem solving capacity

 In this Covid-19 pandemic time 3MEDS  one of the best healthcare service provider in India is throwing light on this pressing topic and how we can improve our sleeping pattern by making some small changes in our day to day lives.

Ways to get better sleep:

Here are some simple yet effective steps that each one of us can inculcate in our routine.

Maintain your sleep cycle: Irregular sleeping pattern is one the major reasons behind ill sleep which later turns into no sleep or commonly known as insomnia. If our work schedule is followed so religiously it’s high time we understand the importance of our sleep cycle. The circadian rhythm or natural sleep-wake pattern works like a body clock for our system if we are aware enough maintaining a sleep pattern isn’t that hard. Fluctuating one or two hours won’t break that rhythm but one shouldn’t totally change it. If your sleep cycle is regular you’ll feel much energized in the morning and won’t be cranky all day. So select a particular time and make that your bedtime. Try and stick to that, after couple of weeks you yourself will feel the change. 

Integrate simple breathing practices in your routine: Introducing oneself to yoga pranayamas like- kapalbhati, anulom vilom pranayam and others will not only help you to breathe deeply but also help you to relax. One the major advantage of doing this regularly will improve your sleep quality and that’s where we have to work. Improving lung capacity, reduction in stress levels, lowering heart rate, increasing mindfulness are some the other benefits of it. Here is one video that will help you.

Create a healthy room environment: Your bedroom lighting directly affects your sleep as bright light will create hindrance. Our body secretes a hormone called Melatonin (More melatonin = more sleepy and less melatonin = less sleepy). Thus dim lights will promote you to sleep better and faster. Other things like comfortable bedding (mattress, pillows, even type of bed sheet cloth helps you to sleep better. So try and make sure your room is quite. Even soft and calming music will help you to sleep better. Make sure your room is cool and dark before you head towards your bed.

 Practice meditation: Meditation is a relaxation technique where you separate yourself from all thoughts and stress that bugs you all day and night. It’s the best way to quite your mind and body. Meditation promotes all over well being. As meditation is the most effective tool to make you calm and healthy. This can be very helpful. Go on and watch this.

 Regular exercise: In this hectic and busy lifestyle we get so involved in those mundane chorus and jobs that we forget to workout and make some room for ourselves. Exercising helps us in many ways and by the night you’ll feel that drop in energy which will surely help you to sleep. Try to incorporate 30 minutes of workout in your daily routine for at least 5 times a week. Even going for a walk after dinner will help you.

 Avoid late night meals: Make sure there is at least 2 to 3 hours of gap between your mealtime and bedtime. Avoid consuming sugar and high carbs food items at night as it will increases your wakefulness.

Avoid stressing: Brainstorming and stressing over all those things in bed is one of the main reasons of not letting you have that beauty sleep. Lay in your bed, close your eyes, and try to shut those toxic thoughts so that you can sleep.

 Avoid using your beloved Smartphone or laptop: As stated above on how melatonin works, that blue light emitting devices disrupts your sleep cycle before sleep.

Watch over your liquid intake: Drinking a lot of water before bedtime is a bad idea as it will increase your trips to washroom. Not only water but also avoid consuming coffee as caffeine disrupts your sleep clock and pushes it back for hours. Also avoid consuming liquor before your bedtime.

 Take a bath before going to bed: A relaxing lukewarm water bath calms oneself down and helps draining all those worries and unnecessary thoughts away. Relax our body and mind before heading towards your bed.

                                                                 Conclusion:

As stated in one of the Irish proverbs “A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything”. 3MEDS  wishes you good health.

Bordetella pertussis: Pathogenesis and Treatment

By Arush Emmanuel Michael

The bacteria Bordetella pertussis causes this highly communicable disease known as whooping cough which is acute in nature in childhood.

 What is Bordetella pertussis?

It is a small, ovoid, gram negative coccobacillus which is non-sporing, capsulated and non-motile in nature. It is the causative agent of Pertussis which is better known as Whooping Cough.

 Prevalence of Bordetella pertussis infection First of year of life is when whooping cough shows the highest incidence and mortality, therefore it is generally a pediatric disease. The patient most infective during the early stage of the disease is the source of infection. Air droplets is how this most infectious of bacterial diseases spreads among children. There are no asymptomatic carriers or healthy carriers that were identified and although immunity develops after natural infection there is a chance of a second attack.  In adults especially, a reinfection can be fatal.

Development of Bordetella pertussis infection After the bacteria is transmitted via droplets from the source of infection, the incubation period for the disease is around 2 weeks. The disease develops in three stages lasting two weeks each:

1.      Catarrhal Stage: It is the early stage of infection where the patient is most infective, however, diagnosis during this stage is difficult.

2.      Paroxysmal Stage: There is continuous coughing with violent spasms. The empty lungs get a long inrush of air with a ‘whoop’.

3.      Convalescent Stage: Coughing decreases in severity and frequency

Eosinuphilic Escophogitis: A new food allergy condition is on the rise.

Overview

During the 1990s, experts began depicting another condition affecting the throat of patients who were slanted to hypersensitivities including food affectability, asthma, and dermatitis, and who were encountering trouble swallowing. Today, we call this condition eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

What is EoE?

EoE is an extremely touchy disturbance of the throat that causes an extent of signs. Youngsters and adults routinely experience it as inconvenience swallowing, to a great extent feeling like food moves too steadily through the throat and into the stomach. Once in a while, food truly slows down out (and may require sincere departure). Children and a couple of adults basically experience reflux appearances and stomach torture rather than inconvenience swallowing.

All things considered, EoE makes as a negatively vulnerable response to explicit sustenances including wheat, milk, egg, soy, nuts, and fish. If it isn't fittingly investigated and treated, EoE may provoke unchanging scarring or wounds (narrowing of the throat).

How is EoE examined?

When EoE is suspected, all things considered the principle test is an upper endoscopy, wherein a versatile chamber with a little camera and a light toward one side is used investigate the throat. The endoscopy generally reveals brand name features of EoE, for instance, concentric rings and straight wrinkles or vertical lines, similarly as meager white spots or plaques.

The examination is attested if biopsies from the throat reveal the brand name increase in eosinophils. Eosinophils are a modestly phenomenal sort of safe cell that accept an undeniable activity in extremely touchy issues including EoE and asthma.

How ordinary is EoE?

EoE can impact the two men and woman all things considered, anyway it appears, apparently, to be commonly ordinary in men in their 30s and 40s. It is directly evaluated that EoE may impact up to one of each 2,000 adults in the US, and verification suggests that the numbers have been creating

The rising in EoE cases may be to some degree on account of more significant recognition with the condition and more in all cases use of endoscopy. However, different assessments have confirmed an authentic climb in the pace of the ailment.

For what reason may EoE be on the climb?

The particular clarifications behind the climb of EoE are dark, and it is especially befuddling that a significant part of the time EoE results from an excessively touchy affectability to a food that has been all around suffered up to that point.

There are a couple of speculations with respect to why EoE is growing. Countless them relate back to the likelihood that EoE, and other ominously vulnerable and resistant framework sicknesses, seem to interface with lessened prologue to microorganisms and pollutions. Potential explanations that have been explored include:

The neatness hypothesis: do less youth pollutions comparable all the more horribly powerless diseases?

Microbial dysbiosis: has the bleeding edge/Western eating routine and lifestyle changed our microbiome?

Biological segments: may changes in food creation, innate adjustment of harvests, manufactured included substances, food getting ready, and poisons accept an occupation?

Declining repeat of H. pylori sullying: may this ordinary stomach microorganisms (a run of the mill purpose behind peptic ulcers) be guarded against some ominously helpless ailments?

3MEDS that provide best online delivery of medicines at 23% discount

Growing repeat of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): could heartburn break the impediment of the throat and grant food allergens to strengthen the immune structure?

Growing use of destructive covering remedies: does the usage of corrosive neutralizers, especially as it so happens for the duration of regular day to day existence, change the microorganisms in the throat or by somehow regardless alter the peril of later food affectability?

How is EoE treated?

There are at present no FDA-avowed meds for EoE. Most by far are from the start treated with a proton-siphon inhibitor (PPI) stomach settling operator, which settle EoE in up to half of cases. In case this doesn't work, either a smooth successful steroid or recognizing verification and end of express dietary triggers is attempted.

Right when steroids are used to treat EoE, these are all things considered in a liquid arrangement that is swallowed, instead of took in as they would be for asthma. Swallowed steroids act locally on the throat and are insignificantly ingested through the gastrointestinal package. Disregarding the way that steroids for EoE are ordinarily secured and practical, they don't instant a drawn out fix because the ailment will when all is said in done return as long as patients continue eating sustenances that trigger the concealed negatively defenseless response.

Various medicines may be provided by various specialist in your clinical group.Buy your medicines online now at Indias best online store-3MEDS

Patients may moreover pick to perceive their food trigger and shed it from the eating schedule, and this addresses a more complete therapy approach. Unfortunately, at present open extreme touchiness testing doesn't exactly foresee the sustenances that cause EoE. Trigger sustenances overall ought to be recognized using a pattern of food removal and reestablished presentation. 

A couple of medication medicines are not very far away. These consolidate better subtleties of steroids and biologic medications that reduce the development of eosinophils.

Conclusion 

In case you are encountering trouble swallowing or have experienced scenes of food slowing down out in the throat, particularly in case you have other excessively touchy conditions, inspect your indications with your PCP. Unrecognized or untreated EoE can incite unending mischief to your throat. You can also download the 3MEDS app which provides genuine online medicines at a discounted price.
