Anxiety

A patient contacted me 5 days ago, her issue was a rising blood glucose level. She has anxiety issues since 20 yrs after her father died. She was on tricylic antidepressants and an SSRI, beta blocker to reduce palpitations and a statin to reduce cardiac risk. Her LDL was never high. Despite the drugs she was always on edge, anxious all the time.
Tricyclic antidepressants are know to increase glucose levels so are the beta blockers and statins.
Gave her homeopathy Ignatia for grief and sepia to balance out serotonin.
In 5 days she has gone off the beta blocker and antidepressant and statin, no anxiety left anymore. She can sleep camly and her blood glucose also came normal.

The drugs were not important here, the diagnostic thinking was.
