Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Attacks
Hi I need some advice. For the last couple of months I've been experiencing panic attacks. They result in me having an icreased heart rate, becoming short of breath, feeling dizzy or ill and occasionally laugh nervously. These tend to be brought on whenever I am anticipating being aksed something or am expected to do something completley by myself in front of numerous people. I've never had a problem talking in front of people before. I begin to tell myself in my irrationality that I may blurt out information either innapropriate or simply secret personal information that I don't want others to hear. I'm looking for some sort of diagnosis for this kind of anxiety and possibly a way to treat it.
I'm 16 years old, around 5'7-9, I do not know my specific weight but I'm more than likley just under the average weight for someone my age.
I used to have asthma but no longer seem to suffer. Do not have any allorgies that I know of. I currently have a bladder infection.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The condition that you are having is basically panic attacks. This is a disorder of anxiety and occurs cause of imbalance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. especially serotonin, nor adrenaline, and dopamine to some extent. Medicines are the best options to take care of these symptoms. Paroxetine is the the most popular medicine and my drug of choice. I generally prescribe my patients 12.5 mg per day at night which takes care of anxiety symptoms. Also certain medicines like propranolol and clonazepam can be give as required when there is a panic episode or expected situation where panic attack can appear.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
