Brief Answer:
Such symptoms can occur in Anxiety Disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for choosing HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms you have mentioned in question are probably occurring due to Anxiety Spectrum Disorders. Uncomfortable feeling near chest, confused mind, feeling odd while going out, difficulty in communicating with others etc could occur due to anxiety and social phobic disorder. Difficulty in reading a book is probably due to confusion because of severe anxiety resulting in poor focus. Though more detailed history is required to confirm that diagnosis. Anxiety disorder can occur in any normal person and may result in significant impairment in day to day functioning. Anxiety disorder is a type of disorder that results in anxiety in non specific situations without any reason. Some times such anxiety occurs during conversation with others also resulting in social phobia or anxiety.

Fortunately the anxiety disorder can be treated with proper medicines and relaxation therapies. The medicines you have been given Nexito Plus (Escitalopram+Clonazepam), Clobazam, Propranolol (Betacap) and Clonazepam all are used in anxiety disorders. Escitalopram is a SSRI drug and is approved for treatment of generalised anxiety disorder. Usually these medicines take about 2-4 weeks to show their effects. You are taking these medicines since 10 days only and this could be the reason for persisting symptoms. Out of these medicines, I would not advise you to take Clonazepam for long periods of time regularly because individual may become dependent on that drug. Take the drug on SOS basis only.

Psychological treatment like Relaxation Exercises, Breathing exercises, Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises etc are commonly used treatment methods in anxiety. These methods have almost equal efficacy to medicines. You can take the help of a psychologist for details.

Thanks, continue to take your drugs as per prescription and you will improve in 2-4 weeks. Avoid tea, coffee, smoking in excess amounts for some days.

Hope this helps you.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety can be treated easily with medicines and relaxation therapy

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking a follow up question

I can understand your problem. Which brain improvement pills you are taking?

The cause of this problem is multifactorial. Low neurotransmitter levels in brain especially of Serotonin and Noradrenaline are mainly responsible for such symptoms of anxiety. Psychological factors and environmental factors further aggravate these symptoms.

If properly treated with medicines then symptoms improve in about 4-6 weeks. The medicines help to improve these neurotransmitter levels in brain. Please don't be scared for these symptoms. Anxiety can be treated easily with proper medicines and relaxation therapy.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
No need to worry your anxiety will reduce

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

A lot of individuals may develop slight restlessness with 40 mg doses of Betacap (Propranolol). This restlessness would reduce in some days. Etizolam would help in reducing this restlessness. If you have prescription of Etizolam 0.5 mg then you can take the drug on SOS basis for few days to reduce that restlessness.

Nexito Plus will start showing its effects in about 2-4 weeks and your anxiety symptoms will reduce. No need to fear. Clobazam will help to reduce anxiety. Sove It 6.25 will help in good sleep.

Thanks, hope this helps.
