Are Palpitations Common If Suffering From Anxiety Disorder?
Hi. Last night I was just sitting down relaxing when my heart rate suddenly increased and started beating very rapidly, following that were uncontrollable, full body tremors. This lasted for about an hour. I have anxiety Disorder and I am very familiar with anxiety attacks, but this was very different.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you had had panic attack and in that case, you need low dose antidepressant like paroxetine or low dose benzodiazepine to decrease the frequency of episode. These drugs are not available over the counter, so you can consult a psychiatrist. You can also try relaxation exercise.
Thanks
