Suggest Treatment For Panic Attack

Hi, i have a few questions need answered. When i was at work the other day, i had to use the bathroom and during, my back went hot and i started sweating. I then went to go get an Ice Pack and felt dizzy and couldn t breathe. My boss stated that I might have had a panic attack and I did have that before and never happened again. So the next day it happened again. This time, I just couldn t breathe. I was hyperventilating and had trouble breathing. Then it happened a third time the next day. Can you please narrow down what is happening to me? or if I really have to go to a doctor or will this go away on its own?

Hi.

I had gone through your query.

You must consult a doctor.

Before we stamp it as a panic attack, detail evaluation of heart and lung function is needed.

So go for basic test that include ECG/ECHO/pulmonary function test.

Psychological evaluation od stress and anxiet is also necessary.

After proper assessment if it will be diagnosed as panic attack then psychiatric intervention is necessary.

Panic attack can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazapine.

It won't reduce by its own.
Treatment is must.

Exercise and meditation can be useful.

Relaxations method like deep breathing and yoga can help.

Proper sleep and diet can help.

Stress free activity and work will be useful.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. .

Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
