Suicidal attempts caused by allergic rhinitis
Patient is a BHMS FINAL YEAR STUDENT
History of surgery of dentigerous cyst and left maxillary sinus in March 18
One year nothing happen to him, from March 19 again started sinus and allergic rhinitis
Came to me after reading my cured case article from social media.
Since March 19, he has continued on allopathic medication. He takes antiallergic meds daily, but the problem remains.
C/o:
Every day watery discharge until noon, sneezing every morning, discharge is only reduced with the allopathic medicine. The situation is the same every day.
JULY 20 CASE-TAKING
Patient on call: exact 5 PM he called me and was hesitant to answer my any questions, so I asked him me call me when no one is near to listen to him
Than after one hour he called me at exact 6 PM.
Patient version – I am having allergic rhinitis since more than one year now, I am taking Medicine everyday. I can’t even sleep up to 4 AM in the morning after that I have to take pills to sleep
And only then I can sleep
Why can’t you sleep?
I know that I am overthinking but …there is no hope in my life now, I have read your post and I thought this could be my last hope
Why so? You didn’t see any homeopathic teachers in your college or a doctor near by? Or any ENT follow ups?
Patient says : NO, I avoided to meet teachers as I don’t wanted that. I thought that there is no cure for this. I had an operation for this and everything changed after that. I was not like before, I am a sport person but because of this rhinitis I am not able to perform. There is always disturbance because of this. What nonsense is this? Every morning have to clean it my nose, there is much sneezing and I am fed up with all this.
So what you feel why this is all happening?
I am doing a job since when I was in second year. I didn’t like to sit in school. I wanted to do 24 hr. work, but because of COVID, everything has stopped and I am depressed now.
Why depressed? Everyone around you is locked up. You are not alone.
I tired to attempt suicide on the day when my biopsy report was awaited (2018). I had lost 16 kg in 20 days when I was admitted. I was NBM (Nothing by mouth) and that’s shattered me. I don’t have any hope, have seen lots of cancer patient. I know that I am not a courageous person so I tried to take something (he mention the name of what he drank) (note by editor: referring to suicide attempt). I felt that as I was working in a hospital it might be that I got an infection from there.
On May 20 I tried once because of this rhinitis (note by editor: referring to suicide attempt)
Life is disturbed. I don’t have any desire for life anymore. I stopped all my social gathering. I don’t want to talk to anyone or meet anyone .
Doctor: You should see someone. Promise me that you won’t do it again. Or else I will inform your parents and the college. You have to give me this in writing, otherwise I will share it, and everyone will know that you tired this all things.
Patient: No. Noone knows. I didn’t tell anyone. I don’t like to discussed my personal life with anyone. When I am with my friends I pretend and behave normally.
I am very punctual with all my duties. I pass all my exams in the every first attempt. I do all my studying before any exams. I am very particular about my timings for sports practise. I call my parents everyday for half an hour. I stopped myself, for my parents only, but on the inside I don’t want live with this boring rhinitis .
Doctor: You are a sport person you know how sport persons should be?
Patient: I also don’t know how I am became like this? I was not at all a negative person. I was up to all things, but after the surgery, I lost my confidence. I just want to do my work again and overcome this thinking.
There is also a mark on my face, I don’t like it, because of this I may also be avoiding many things.
