Patient discussion about affective.

Q. How do I tell my friend his smoking is affecting my asthma? I recently was diagnosed with asthma. Today I almost pass out from second hand smoke @ work. My co-worker smokes but also let his clothes smoke with him - After his smoke break I literally have to leave - he knows I have asthma - how can I tell him without consequences from manager and other co-workers or making him feel bad?

A. I would just tell him about your condition and that it bothers you. I would ask him to not smoke around you. If he does not respond to your niceness then I would go to Human Resources or a manager and deal with it that way. Besides, his smoke breaks take up a lot of time from the company and is consider time-theft.

Q. Can stress really affect your health?? I’ve been having a stressed period at work in the past three months. I heard a lot of times:” don’t stress up-it’ll kill you eventually..” but is it physically true?

A. defenitely true, it's been proven that stress might cause gastrointestinal desorders.

Q. I doubt whether I am also affected by this? I read lots of bipolar symptoms in this Imedix community which helped me to learn more about this disorder. I doubt whether I am also affected by this? When you think that I might have this disorder, what must I do to find out for certain?

A. First stop confusing yourself. Then you need to discuss your concerns with your medical doctor. Then, he/she can refer you to a Psychiatrist/other mental health professional. There may be a screening test done and other evaluations. Don't wait! If you do have this disorder, the sooner you get treatment, the better it will be for you and the ones you love. If you don't think you can get the help you need to ease your mind because of cost, and then check out programs that your local medical hospital may have to help defer the cost of treatment. Also, check to see if there are any mental health clinics in/close to your area. I hope everything goes great with you. And, a note, if it turns out that you have this disorder, doesn’t let it get you down as that will only make it worse. Think of something positive that can come out of the whole situation. Yes… I said positive. There is a positive in everything if you look for it. Be Coooool!
