Brief Answer:
Fear must have provoked this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed your symptoms and information carefully. It all points to the fact that you probably have anxiety problems. These symptoms reported are also very typical of anxiety or a possible panic attack. The cause of this in most persons if fear of the unknown. This is most likely what happened to you.

My advice is that you should keep calm alway. Fright would always provoke similar symptoms. However, you are already on drugs that can manage this condition and I will not be rooting for a new drug at this time. In addition to drugs, I will like that get training on how to mange disturbing thoughts so as not to always get into anxiety/panic attacks. Ask your doctor about this possibility

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks.
