Get well soon: Tests have to be done to detect allergies

I have severe itching sensation after eating peanuts and shell fish. How do I confirm if I am allergic? Are there any specific tests for to detect such allergies?

We can never know the scale of the allergy until we do a test injecting several allergens in the forearm – many don’t come forward for such a test. The other method known as Radioimmunoassay – a sensitive method for measuring very small amounts of a substance in the blood – but it doesn’t find many takers among experts.

I have been suffering from insomnia for over a year now. I was told by doctors that it is due to increased stress and an erratic work schedule. Can this be cured? What are the treatments available?

If a person has bed anxiety, a combination of counselling and medication is the solution. Just prescribing pills never works if the underlying cause is not addressed. Cultivating sleep hygiene—regulating habits and practices ¬ also helps.
