Patient's question:
Hello, I am 5 months pregnant and suffering from severe neurasthenia. What can I do? I have been experiencing symptoms of neurasthenia since last week. Almost every night, I can only fall asleep slowly after 2 a.m. What should I do? What can help cure my neurasthenia?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant neurasthenia can indeed be quite challenging, as medication treatment is clearly not feasible. If medication is misused, it can not only interfere with the health of the adult but also affect the child's growth and development. I suggest that for severe neurasthenia, you should consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to have your pulse diagnosed. This will help the doctor identify your constitution and determine the cause of your neurasthenia. Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment is acceptable. Additionally, some light exercise during the day can also help alleviate symptoms of neurasthenia.
