[51M] Experiencing extreme nervousness with associated symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, you may be experiencing:

• Anxiety Disorder: This is characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities. Symptoms include restlessness, excessive worry, and feelings of fear, dread, and unease, as well as physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, and a loss of appetite.
  • Treatment typically involves psychotherapy (counseling), medication, or both. Lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep habits, increasing physical activity, and practicing relaxation techniques, can also help.
• Side Effects of Crestor: Although it's less common, some people may experience nervousness and other related symptoms as a side effect of taking Crestor. It's important to note that everyone's reaction to medication is different, and what may be a side effect for one person may not be for another.
  • If you suspect that Crestor is causing these symptoms, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if this is the case and what the best course of action would be.

What you can do

1. Consult with your healthcare provider: They can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary. It's important to discuss all of your symptoms with them, including any potential side effects you may be experiencing from your medication.

2. Practice stress management techniques: This can include activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet can also help manage symptoms of anxiety.

3. Seek support: Consider reaching out to a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. They can provide strategies to help manage your anxiety.

What you should look out for

If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention immediately:

• Thoughts of harming yourself or others
• Panic attacks, characterized by sudden feelings of terror that strike without warning
• Difficulty breathing or a rapid, pounding heart rate
• An inability to perform daily activities because of your anxiety
