How To Treat Anxiety?

Last night, I was crying pretty hard, I got in the shower to calm down, and while in there I felt sick and felt like I needed to throw up. Nothing came up, but then I started feeling extremely light headed, my vision started to get black around the edges, and my hearing was less and less. I could barely here the water coming from the shower head. I felt like I was going to fall, so I held onto to rail as tight as I could and thankfully didn't fall. I could feel my face was different. my eyes felt droopy, or at least more the left side than the right and my shoulders, (shoulder to shoulder) and neck were very tight. Like I couldn't move my head, it was so tight. It lasted about 2 minutes then I started being able to hear and got back to normal. It really scared me, as I am a single mom, and if anything happened, my daughter would be by herself. Some things about me, I do have asthma, I was told I was anemic, and I tend to have anxiety attacks. I'm only taking my inhaler as needed. And did bot use it last night.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing
The symptoms that you describe might have been consequent to your prolonged crying spells. However, get a consultation from your physician to make sure the physical health is otherwise fine. If needed, a psychiatric consultation may be availed of. This would help you handle your life stresses more confidently.

Hope that helps,
Dr A Rao
