Hi dear,

Thanks for your query.

Are you suffering from chronic mental stress/anxiety and Panic attacks? If YES, then these are symptoms of your anxiety. A course of anti-depressant + anti-anxiety drugs will relieve you of all problems.

But, if you have no mental stress, your symptoms may be due to a significant neurological condition or low calcium levels in the blood. You therefore, need to consult a Neurologist, who will get relevant investigations done and establish the cause after seeing the reports.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
