Besides your willpower and going "deep" into your negative energy generator, I do not think so. Try hard to be physically active, which eliminates all the negative energy.
Hope this helps. Best regards.

I've been experiencing some strange symptoms. Lately, I've been getting these attacks of intense heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweats, and genital tingling and throbbing that feels like sexual arousal, but I know isn't. Sometimes I even get dizzy with them. I don't know how to stop them. Currently, I'm taking Metformin 1500 mg/day, Aldactone 100 mg/day and a birth control pill (all for PCOS). What could these symptoms mean? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety and panic treatment or prevention

Detailed Answer:
Greetings, miss! Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I am Dr. Meriton. I understand your concern.

I will mostly concentrate on describing panic attacks and anxiety, and to do my best to address your concern.

Panic attacks are a feature of generalized anxiety disorder, or other forms of anxiety. Every episode of anxiety (whichever form it is) is characterized by one main feature: flush of chatecholamines (adrenalin and noradrenalin) in the system. This "flush" almost always produces rapid heart rate, increasing blood pressure, shortness of breath, pounding heart beats, sometime dizziness, blushing, and tingling in the genital-anal area. Panic attacks are of unknown cause, but certain phenomena that can trigger them are well-known. For example, an embarassing situation, going into narrow passages or spaces, standing in crowds, public speeches or performances, these are all situations that can trigger panic attacks. The main thing going on in your mind is "What is happening to me?" "Is this going to kill me?" "If I faint, will there be somebody to help me?" etc. These natural and understable questions then produce more panic, which spontaneously goes away after some minutes and you then feel fine. Also, the hormonal supplementary therapy can make you more prone to emotional sensitivity and mood swings. I would recommend you to engage in physical activity for at least 60 minutes a day. Also, if this affects your quality of life or work or interpersonal relationships, you can discuss with a psychiatrist, about the possibility of a 7-14 day course with a drug from the family of benzodiazepines. To sum up, I think this is a pure panic attack and may be triggered from the therapy for you policystic ovaries.

I hope I have been of help. Wish you a good health. I would be happy to help you, if you have further questions. Please rate my answer, if you do not.

My best wishes,
Dr. Meriton

Brief Answer:
Some natural remedies

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!

Controversial data exist about the natural and floral remedies for treatment of policystic ovary syndrome. I would, however, recommend you to continue on the hormonal therapy, which, thus far, has almost inherently been proven effective. I would also recommend you, which I assume has been already recommended to you by your obstetritian-gynecologist, to periodically undergo a genitourinary tract ultrasound, to see the progression of the condition and the success of therapy.

Wish you a good health. My best regards.
Dr. Meriton
