Brief Answer: Consult your doctor for medication Detailed Answer: Hello, The thoughts that you are experiencing are not true. Sometimes the clarity of thought is lost and it should be managed at the earliest. I feel you will benefit with optimizing your current medication. I recommend that you consult your current treating doctor and discuss about your new thoughts. He/she should modify your current medications. Your mind will feel relaxed once you start the medication. Do not delay and consult your doctor at the earliest. Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal

Doctor 1 thing i forgot to mention i olws feel palptations n my bp remain in the upper limit 130/90...

Answered by Dr. Shailja Puri (2 hours later)

Brief Answer: Repeat bp at regular intervals Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome again, Palpitations are observed in number of conditions. Anxiety, panic attacks, heart problems are some of the causes of palpitations. A blood pressure of 130/90 is within normal range. Get your blood pressure at regular intervals to rule out hypertension. The systolic blood pressure is absolutely normal at 130. However, the diastolic blood pressure at 90 is slightly on the higher side. If the palpitations are very troublesome, you need to consult your physician for medication for the problem. Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
