View allI've been feeling this weird kind of discomfort, not really pain or tightness in my chest. It happens every now and then, and it gets me feeling kinda anxious. Sometimes I need to take a deep breath to feel normal again. Someone mentioned it might be anxiety, and now I'm all worried. Is this a common thing? What do you think I should do?

I've been feeling anxious for the past month and have been taking meds plus doing yoga to manage it. I'm also scheduled for deviated septum surgery soon and that's adding to my worries how can I handle the anxiety around the procedure and recovery?
To manage anxiety before and after deviated septum surgery, consider a multi-pronged approach. Maintain your current anxiety medication and yoga routine, but also explore other coping strategies like stress-reducing activities, support groups, and open communication with your healthcare team.

I'm in college and really stressed because I have a paper due tomorrow. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and it's hard to focus, but I know I need to finish it. I've been thinking about taking my Atarax and combining it with caffeine, like maybe 3 shots of espresso. Is that safe?
Combining Atarax (Hydroxyzine) with caffeine is not recommended, as it can cause conflicting effectsAtarax is a sedative, while caffeine is a stimulant. This may lead to increased anxiety or other discomfort. It's better to focus on calming techniques or consult your doctor if you're feeling overwhelmed.
