Where do you live? Go to the nearest Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital or any teaching hospital and see a Consultant Psychiatrist. Please Psychiatric hospitals are not for mad people alone.

Meanwhile, cut down smartphone use, social media. Do not keep mobile phone or TV in your sleeping roo.

But see a psychiatrist ASAP

After you enjoy yourself, do you refresh you body? Don't you think clearly that this is the reason you feel so? I would advice you take malt n milk for like 2 weeks, take multivitamin capsules or blood tonic, get lots of rest and finally take healthy fruits.

Something I should also add is that in the month of August, a friend living in Ikeja travelled out of the country and had me stay in his apartment with my fiancé, I was very sexually active around this time, we had sex more than once everyday until the 25th of August, it was around 24th August I started feeling this type of way, we used condoms through out and I have checked and cleared all doubts of STIs, but the sex was quite exhausting at a time because she always wanted more while she’s on the plus size and I’m a slim guy, so you know I was exerting a lot of energy, my friend joking talked about checking my BP and I waved it off so I don’t know if High blood pressure could actually be the cause of all this or the blood pressure is a result of the sleeplessness.

10 Tips to Beat Insomnia
If you are suffering from insomnia, there are many steps you can take to change behaviors and lifestyle to help you get to sleep. Here are some tips for beating insomnia.

Wake up at the same time each day. It is tempting to sleep late on weekends, especially if you have had poor sleep during the week. However, if you suffer from insomnia you should get up at the same time every day in order to train your body to wake at a consistent time.
Eliminate alcohol and stimulants like nicotine and caffeine. The effects of caffeine can last for several hours, perhaps up to 24 hours, so the chances of it affecting sleep are significant. Caffeine may not only cause difficulty initiating sleep, but may also cause frequent awakenings. Alcohol may have a sedative effect for the first few hours following consumption, but it can then lead to frequent arousals and a non-restful night's sleep. If you are on medications that act as stimulants, such as decongestants or asthma inhalers, ask your doctor when they should best be taken to help minimize any affect on sleep.
Limit naps. While napping seems like a proper way to catch up on missed sleep, it is not always so. It is important to establish and maintain a regular sleep pattern and train oneself to associate sleep with cues like darkness and a consistent bedtime. Napping can affect the quality of nighttime sleep.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve sleep quality and duration. However, exercising immediately before bedtime can have a stimulant effect on the body and should be avoided. Try to finish exercising at least three hours before you plan to retire for the night.
Limit activities in bed. The bed is for sleeping and having sex and that's it. If you suffer from insomnia, do not balance the checkbook, study, or make phone calls, for example, while in bed or even in the bedroom, and avoid watching television or listening to the radio. All these activities can increase alertness and make it difficult to fall asleep.
Do not eat or drink right before going to bed. Eating a late dinner or snacking before going to bed can activate the digestive system and keep you up. If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) or heartburn, it is even more important to avoid eating and drinking right before bed since this can make your symptoms worse. In addition, drinking a lot of fluids prior to bed can overwhelm the bladder, requiring frequent visits to the bathroom that disturb your sleep.
Make your sleeping environment comfortable. Temperature, lighting, and noise should be controlled to make the bedroom conducive to falling (and staying) asleep. Your bed should feel comfortable and if you have a pet that sleeps in the room with you, consider having the pet sleep somewhere else if it tends to make noise in the night.
Get all your worrying over with before you go to bed. If you find you lay in bed thinking about tomorrow, consider setting aside a period of time -- perhaps after dinner -- to review the day and to make plans for the next day. The goal is to avoid doing these things while trying to fall asleep. It is also useful to make a list of, say, work-related tasks for the next day before leaving work. That, at least, eliminates one set of concerns.
Reduce stress. There are a number of relaxation therapies and stress reduction methods you may want to try to relax the mind and the body before going to bed. Examples include progressive muscle relaxation (perhaps with audio tapes), deep breathing techniques, imagery, meditation, and biofeedback.
Consider participating in cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy helps some people with insomnia identify and correct inappropriate thoughts and beliefs that may contribute to insomnia. In addition, cognitive therapy can give you the proper information about sleep norms, age-related sleep changes, and help set reasonable sleep goals, among other things.

There's this drug called Rofenol or Swinol,a card is around 1600,1800 to 2000. It might help but first let you bed be where you sleep not where you press phone... I mean only stay in your bed when you want to sleep.

Now you've solved the riddle. The exhaustive sex is the cause. I experienced such in my 4th yr in school. A girl visited for the weekend(on Friday), and we had more than 5 rounds of body recking sex each day, and by the time she left on Sunday, my ancestors were now in constant communion with me. I survived by Grace.

Funny enough, my guys nicknamed her oti mkpu(the screamer), cos her ring tone no be her, and it's always funny how people thought that I was killing the girl that year, when they didn't know the reverse was the case and the girl might be using that loud ring tones to drown my own voice. Ahhhhhhh, am still alive though, but I bn sick for straight one month after she left that weekend.

5 rounds each day with drugs abi?

See ya life...

Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

It’s a new job and everybody at work have noticed something is wrong but I’m just keeping strong. Could it be the high blood pressure because the doctor has refused to say anything about it?

What do you do over the weekend? For the foreseeable future, cancel all your weekend outings and try chill during the weekends. Not necessary you sleep, you can just ly around all day and night

Dear Poster, I have been through this phase before. Its normal with a guy who is agile and eager to make a meaning with life.
1)Firstly, take everything easy, walk slowly, take your time and do not be rushed. Also check online for breathing therapy, it works like magic, you focus on your inner peace, breath in through your nose and breath out slowly through your mouth. If you do so for like 3 minutes, you will find yourself yawning and feeling sleepy.
2) Try Orange/ginger tea, Blend your ginger and pour in half a cup of water, allow water boil then add ginger to it, squeeze 5 oranges, 2 Grape and 2 lemon in cup and add the juice to the already boiled ginger. Sieve and drink, you will definitely sleep
3) Get 10 leaves of sour sop fruit, boil it in three cups of water, allow the water boil till it reduces to 1 cup. Allow to cool and drink, you will surely sleep.
I want you to try the above and revert here with the result. However, you need to stop sleeping pill as you are too young for that.

Her bp was moderate, mum is still taking her ginger and lime o
As for ur sleepless nights.. Go to the pharm and get Nuravit.. You'll just be eating and sleeping but don't take it every day, a day or two interval is OK... Dont go to work Pls, take a leave of two to three weeks or even a month for best result... Thank me later �

Exactly, ginger is best in regulating BP. Lime or lemon would do. I boil mine, make a batch of 4 bottles and refrigerate. Then drink first thing in the morning, at nights too

This might be stress, but get another doctor a cardiologist , do kidney, liver function tests, check cholesterol, check sugar not the instant type but the 3 months type, do chest X-ray, and ECHO with EGG, then the doctor will know the cause of your problem and how to solve it.

Obviously, it is blood pressure that has caused all the aforementioned observations. However, something must have caused the sudden trigger of it. You should check your family history for such.
So long there is no sickness that's currently building up in your system that could have triggered it, as your doc said, it could be that your body is finding it hard to respond to a current pressure it is undergoing due to work ethics.

At that, you are so young for such symptoms but it is not unusual among ppl of your age bracket.
You did ECG test fine. You need to hit a lab for KIDNEY test asap, I am afriad. This is one of the thousand ways that triggers rise in blood pressure among youths.

Don't wait on your doctor's advice, kindly ask for it. Test should be around 8k. Like the Doctors will say, it is not yet time until we see symptoms. And sometimes, when they see symptoms, sickness has escalated.
If that comes out negative, I assume, kindly eat fruits alot especially avocado tans banana then get alot of rest. Your system will regulate.

Something I should also add is that in the month of August, a friend living in Ikeja travelled out of the country and had me stay in his apartment with my fiancé, I was very sexually active around this time, we had sex more than once everyday until the 25th of August, it was around 24th August I started feeling this type of way, we used condoms through out and I have checked and cleared all doubts of STIs, but the sex was quite exhausting at a time because she always wanted more while she’s on the plus size and I’m a slim guy, so you know I was exerting a lot of energy, my friend joking talked about checking my BP and I waved it off so I don’t know if High blood pressure could actually be the cause of all this or the blood pressure is a result of the sleeplessness.
Na anxiety dey worry u.look for a psychologist to treat u.sex actually reduce blood pressure
