ANXIETY, Stress, Insomnia and hair loss… are some of the common symptoms we are hearing about from many of our patients.

Here are 3 small changes you can make to your lifestyle to deal with some of these symptoms:

1. Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity is an excellent way to reduce anxiety, relieve stress, and improve sleep quality. Exercise increases endorphin production, which helps elevate mood and reduce tension. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, most days of the week.
2. Maintain a Consistent Sleep Routine: Establishing a regular sleep routine can significantly improve sleep quality. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques. Make sure your sleep environment is comfortable, dark, and quiet.
3. Limit Stimulants and Practice Healthy Lifestyle Habits: Reduce your intake of stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine, especially in the evening. These substances can interfere with sleep and exacerbate anxiety. Instead, opt for calming herbal teas or decaffeinated beverages. Additionally, prioritize a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, and incorporating stress-reducing activities into your daily routine, such as spending time in nature, engaging in hobbies, or connecting with loved ones.

Hair loss can be a possible consequence of COVID or Long Covid, although it is not experienced by everyone who has had the virus. The condition is known as telogen effluvium, which is a temporary form of hair shedding that can be triggered by physical or emotional stress, including illness. The exact mechanism by which COVID or Long Covid causes hair loss is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the disruption of the hair growth cycle.
