Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

I understand that you are quite distressed because of your anxiety problems. From the description of your symptoms it appears that you are suffering from a Anxiety Disorder with Panic attacks.

The feeling that something bad is going to happen or that you are going to die as well as the physical symptoms like tingling, etc. are also anxiety-related symptoms.


I would advise to consult a Psychiatrist in your place for professional help. Effective treatment is available with medication and psychological therapy which can help you overcome your anxiety problems.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
