I have been going through some tough times and haven t been eating right, I also haven t been sleeping right and now i smell blood and have a light pain in my forhead near my nose. I ve been feeling weak as well, I ve been feeling like this for a week now. Do you know what it may be?
Hi, I am sorry you are feeling like this. There are a few possibilities to explain your symptoms1. Sinusitis: This can cause pain in the forehead near the nose and bleeding from the nose which could be the reason you smell blood. 2. Depression/Anxiety: This could explain the multiple different symptoms that you are experiencing. It could be due to your current stressful events. My recommendations would be1. Consider Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325-650 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for the forehead pain. Do not take more than 3,000 mg of Acetaminophen over a 24-hour period. 2. If you have symptoms of congestion, you can try an over the counter decongestant like Cetirizine 5 mg at bedtime or Loratadine 10 mg at bedtime until symptoms resolve3. Consider seeing a psychologist (behavioral therapist) to discuss how to cope with current stress. If they feel that you have anxiety/depression they can refer you to a psychiatrist. 4. Consider methods to decrease stress such as deep breathing exercises, medication and yoga. Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!
