Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am going through anxiety attack. I frequently worry about exams and test though im prepared in it. In exams I get nervous and panic and so I get low marks whereas my friends get more than me because they are really calm in exams. What should I do to remove this anxiety from me?
I can understand your problem. Such type of anxiety is common in students before exams. This is also called as performance anxiety. In most of individuals psychological counselling and relaxation exercises help to keep individuals relaxed and improve performance in anxiety. Some times due to severe anxiety performance decline occurs and which should be treated by medicines.
In such type of anxiety medicines like low dose non-sedating benzodiazepines like etizolam or beta blockers as propranolol can be used. Propranolol is a drug that reduces symptoms and is commonly prescribed in situations of performance anxiety. Consult a psychiatrist for treatment.
Hope this helps you. Thanks
