Hello,
Please do check your thyroid profile, Vit. B12, Serum calcium, Vit.D3, Hb% just to rule out for any deficiencies.
The following if practiced for long time consistently will help a lot to come out from the condition:
1. Take one on one yoga-pranayama classes on daily basis; avoid meditation for now.
2. Learn some good and simple chanting from a learned person.
3. Practice mindfulness in all the activities.
4. Include raw salads, nuts-seeds and lots of fruits into your daily dose of diet.
5. If you are on caffeine, reduce it to one to two cups a day.
Along with above following medicines to be used for 90 days:
1. Saraswatarishtam(plain) 20ml---0----20ml A/F
2. Kalyanaka ghritam capsules 2-----0----2 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner
Take care.
Kind regards.

3)MANASIKA DOSHA IMBALANCE(rajas-tamas aggravation)- overthinking(rajas)+lethargy, hopelessness(tamas).
MENTAL LAYER
-In ayurveda, the mind(Manas) is governed by satva(clarity), rajas(activity), and tamas(inertia) . you're like facing
-EXCESS RAJAS->panic, restlessness
-EXCESS TAMS->sleepiness, sadness, dullness
SINUS AND GLAUCOMA CONNECTION
-sinus congestion suggests kapha build up in the head. this can affect prana and worsen anxiety.
-glaucoma (if raised intraocular pressure) needs extra care as some oils are contraindicated

Anxiety, Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.
❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts..
Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time.. If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)
🧘♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.
❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.
❌ Reduce screen time.. No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep.
Filter the content of data you consume.. Let it be spiritual or positive... too much motivation can also cause depression.
✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.
✔️ Eat only home cooked food... Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.
💊 Medication: 💊
Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam
2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.
Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma)
