Suggest Medications For Palpitations, Anxiety And Panic Attacks
Hello Dr. I've been suffering from palpitations for years and I'm currently taking Paxil and Atenolol. I've been able to control it for the most part up until the last couple of days. I'm having a panic attack right now and I need something to calm me down. Can you help?
