When I am under stress (short term) and panic, I have bleeding. Is this normal? And should I be concerned?

Hello,

Do you have chronic anxiety? Have you been diagnosed with anxiety?

Thanks for the additional information

If your parents both have a diagnosis of anxiety, it is very likely that you do as well.

Anxiety when not properly treated can lead to irregular bleeding like you are experiencing right now. So it's very likely that this is indeed a consequence of your stress.

This is not a concern if it is caused by stress.

As for low libido, many antidepressants can have this side effect. However, some antidepressants are not as bad as others. In addition, often an antidepressant called bupropion can be prescribed in conjunction with the one that causes low libido. Bupropion is an anti-dote of sorts

Alternatively, therapy can also be attempted to give you the tools to manage your stress naturally.

It was a pleasure!

Have a great day!
