Question: I was taken to hospital on Tuesday night with my first ever panic attack with hyperventilating I had a full blood count done which was normal I have lost 10 pounds since Wednesday my gp put me on paroxetine 20mg is it possible there could be any other conditions causing this apart from anxiety as I feel extremely ill and can't eat and think the paroextine is making the condition worse, I already taking 160mg propanolol for essential tremor approx 6 years now
Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Icliniq.
The onset of problem at 29 years of age is indicative od panic disorder considering the normal blood profile but it does not mean that other conditions can not present in similar way.
The possibility if low but I feel they should rule out pheochromocytoma a endocrine disorder which can present with tremor as well as panic disorder. The other condition which need to be rule out is hyperthyroidism.
I hope this answers you.

Use of paroxetine and propanol is safe and can be used in both the described conditions including panic disorder. They can also be taken together and there are no contraindications kwon when used at the same time.
If they have checked for thyroid it must show but complete blood count do not include thyrod profile.
