Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Let's get out the medical terms and speak as two friends
Concerning your heart symptoms which ruled out any serious condition that means you might live hard times with a relative or a friend who suffered greatly from heart diseases, or you might be touched by a story or whatever making you worry about your heart. A
panic attack is just to fear from something and the symptoms are just like what you wrote, but treating it is easy. You have mentioned that you pass through hard social circumstances and that is enough to be worry and I agree with you, but let's keep moving forward. What about applying for new jobs? Traveling abroad? Trying something new? Making new friends? All of these can get you out of this condition.
Let's speak medically, you seem to have an
anxiety disorder which is very common to any normal person. In anxiety, Serotonin level decreases in your brain which makes you more susceptible to have panic attacks.
How to increase our Serotonin level? there are three major nonmedical ways to increase your Serotonin level:
1- Exercise on a regular basis.
2- Sleeping well and early ( before 12 a.m. ) because the ideal time for your brain to synthesize serotonin is from 00:00 to 02:00
3- Happiness, do things you like and have fun with your friends, etcetera.
There is, of course, a medical way to increase your serotonin by taking
SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors) which is prescribed by a
psychiatrist. Also,
Counselling has a major effect.
My advice to you is to change your lifestyle and if this doesn't help you may ask for counseling with a psychiatrist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mario Aiad
