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 experiecing. 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 Cetrizine 5mg at bedtime or Loratidine 10 mg at bedtime until symptoms resolve3. Consider seeing a psychologist (behavioral therapist) to discuss about 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!
