Can stress make you literally dizzy? I have found that when I am particularly anxious or angry, I get dizzy and lightheaded. Should this be a cause for concern? I am prone to anxiety attacks as well.

My 71-year-old father began taking Coumadin after a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. Not too long after, he began having more confusion. After going to many more doctors and getting more medicine for dementia and depression — that also cause confusion — there is no definite diagnosis. In fact, he’s getting worse. Is it possible that the Coumadin is causing this?

I have been suffering from a skin rash for about 10 years. A large patch of my skin constantly itches, and the skin is thick and feels like leather. I have gone through almost every ointment on the market, and none works. I went to a new doctor and he said that my rash was neurodermatitis and recommended an antidepressant. I was surprised. Have you ever heard of using a mood-altering medication to treat a skin rash?

Is there a difference between the prescription Zoloft and the generic version? I started taking Zoloft 8 years ago, but switched to the generic version over a year ago because it’s free with my prescription coverage. I think I’ve gained weight since the switch. Is it possible that the generic version causes me to gain weight when Zoloft didn’t?

I am 57 years old. My maternal grandmother and mother both had Alzheimer’s disease. There have been some times when I feel like I’m waking up from a fog or mental sleep. I sometimes feel disoriented, or just plain scared (especially when I’m driving). Should I be worried?

November 01, 2011

My wife is emotionally unstable. I (and many others) believe she could have bipolar disorder. She’s defensive, and hard to confront. It’s starting to affect my health. Any advice to help us?

October 31, 2011

I’m pretty stressed. Any helpful tips?
