Suffer From Heartburn, Nervousness And Fast Breathing. Have Anxiety And Shivering. Peculiar Problem?

Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
From your description, we should strongly suspect presence of anxiety disorder with agoraphobia. Severity of anxiety may vary time to time, in your case it is associated with outside visit. That is why your symptoms improved with Petril which also have anti anxiety effect. Untreated cases of anxiety may lead to depression.
Other symptoms of anxiety which may or may not be present in your case: nervousness, restlessness, mild irritability, excessive worry regarding own health, tremor, muscle spasm, heaviness in body, easy fatigability, headache, sleep disturbance, palpitation and dry mouth.
Anxiety occur due to neurotransmitters imbalance in brain most commonly involving serotonin neurotransmitter. Anxiety is best treated by specialist like psychiatrist. It is not clear if you received any treatment in past, but believe me people life changes after treatment.
There is need for treatment, if symptoms cause significant personal distress or affect personal/professional life. Both drug and non drug treatment like cognitive behaviour therapy (form of psychotherapy) are used for treatment. Choice of treatment depends on severity of symptoms, personal preference and availability of treatment.
In drug treatment of anxiety two types of medicine used. For immediate relief of anxiety benzodiazepines group of medicines (like petril) are used for short duration (due to risk of dependence). For long term relief most commonly SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are used. SSRI takes around 3-4 weeks to show its effect, till that time benzodiazepines control the anxiety symptoms.
All these process is complex. I have just simplified it to make you understand it. So, it is best to XXXXXXX psychiatrist early, for treatment.
Apart from above advice following simple measures will help you:
-Decrease worrying by keeping yourself busy and distracted from worrisome thoughts by talking to family members or watching T.V. or counting back (100 to 0).
-Healthy diet: Milk and fruits in diet.
-Daily morning walk
-Breathing exercise, yoga and meditation (which you can learn from some expert in person)
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
