I have had many anxiety attacks (i know cause my friend has them and i described mine to my friend and she said that they are anxiety attacks) Symptoms when im having the attacks: -I feel like im going to faint (or i get weak in my legs so I feel like im going to fall) -headaces -sweating (sometimes) -heavy breathing/ shortness of breath -shaking -nausea -dizzyness When I m stressed I feel like puking, i have headaches , i sweat, I start breathing hard in fear that I might have a panic attack. Do you have any idea what kind of anxiety disorder i might have?

Hi Sofia,
Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms are consistent with with an anxiety disorder. The treatment for this condition would be drugs like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like escitalopram. In addition, you would need psychotherapy, which is the main treatment. The type of anxiety disorder you have can be decided only after a detailed history is taken.
Hope this helps
Regards
