Patient's question:
My husband was carefully diagnosed with secondary pernicious anemia two years ago. In the past few months, he has frequently experienced symptoms of neurasthenia, unable to sleep at night every day, which makes me very worried about his health. So, what should he do if he has secondary pernicious anemia accompanied by neurasthenia?Doctor's answer:
Neurasthenia is a relatively common type of mental disorder. If it reoccurs, especially on the basis of a second episode, the primary focus should be on alleviating the patient's mental stress, reducing their fear of the disease, and maintaining a positive mood while fostering confidence in the treatment. Pay attention to a proper diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy and stimulating foods. Appropriately enhance physical exercise to strengthen the body. Have follow-up check-ups regularly.
