Detailed Answer:
Hello

After reading the medical details provided by you I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety and panic disorder rather than anything else. Head pulsations and dizziness are just suggestive of increasing stress and anxiety.

I would like to know
1. do you have high blood pressure or not ?
2. Do you smoke?

Considering your problem I would like to suggest you to personally consult a psychologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan. Also you might be needing sessions of counselling and behavioural therapy in other to boost your confidence levels and help counter your stress.

Also if you can start learning and practicing Yoga and Meditation as it will help you combat your stress and anxiety.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind regards
Dr Bhanu partap
