Q. I have severe anxiety about facing or doing anything. Can homeopathy help in reducing it?

Hi doctor,

I am a 67-year-old female. Dealing with high blood pressure for 20 years, anxiety, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes for six years. My goal or preference would be to not be taking medications but heal through homeopathy, vitamins, and a healthy lifestyle. It seems that the underlying problem is my mental state, such as anxiety, wanting to hide from everyone, and depression (not being able to move and do what I often think about).

I am under the following medications:

1) Metformin, but I have recently dropped from 1000 mg twice a day to 500 twice a day due to my change in diet.

2) For high blood pressure I am taking Losartan with Hydrochlorothiazide 200, 23.5 mcg, and Metoprolol 12.5 mg.

3) For anxiety and sleep issues, I am taking Quetiapine 100 mg at bedtime.

My way of eating is trying to stay under 50 carbohydrates a day (but have a problem with night eating and craving sugar), and I practice intermittent fasting 18/6 and sometimes 24-hour fasting.

I sedentary lifestyle. As much as I often think about exercise, I do not seem to be able to force myself to do what is needed. My cholesterol is LDL 300 H, triglycerides 159 H, HDL 47 and VLDL 30.

Kindly guide me.

Hi doctor,

Thank you.

This helps with anxiety, but to the extent that I am anxious, I go the opposite way. Not able to be around people, lethargic. I am tired to face or do anything. Maybe bipolar, but never diagnosed. My power is scanty. Kindly help me.
