What could be the reason for a decline in the ability to stay focussed?

Hi,

We welcome you to the icliniq.com family.

I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.

It is mainly because of slow recovery, or over-burnout. You need to slow down and work on your diet and lifestyle too. Follow these guidelines and consult me again with reports.

Do not make drastic life changes, or a restricted diet, which you can not sustain for longer; start with small goals like 3000 steps a day or having four glasses of water, and it can be customized as per your lifestyle and needs. Check for your blood reports; vitamin screening with hemoglobin, which can lead to low energy level, and low metabolism, which can lead to low focus. I also suggest checking your vitamin lB12 and vitamin D. Also, check for obesity stage by calculating your BMI (body mass index, a measure of body fat based on height and weight). Do not have random calculations, or assumptions to be obese.

Identify lifestyle changes, or stress factors, because you have not mentioned more details to guide you more on it. I would require details on your age, height, and weight to help you further, but I can help you here with a few changes to start with.

1. Get up and stretch yourself after every 45 minutes to one hour, as sitting for long can be damaging to your posture. At work, walk the length of the office every hour or two, to keep your back happy, your muscles supple, and your blood circulating.

2. Indulge into some deep breathing exercises, as it will help you keep calm, or even put you to sleep. Practicing pranayam (yogic practice of focusing on breath) can surely help.

3. Plan your week in advance, so that your traveling time becomes your time for rest.

4. Use the long corridors and long waits for a quick brisk walk in airports or stations. Take the stairs rather than the escalators. After all, you have to sit for hours during work. So make the most of the time you have while you wait at the station.

5. If using a car, park your car away from the destination, and try to walk. After 15 days of being active, start with a small home-based workout, like a five-minute spot jogging, five minutes of stretching, five minutes of brisk walking, a two-minute leg raise, or five push-ups, push-ups, etc.

6. Last but not least, keep a 'To-Do' list, or daily diary. It will help you to stay organized.

I hope this information helps provide some insight into your symptoms.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
