General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Panic disorders are symptoms of major depression when the patient's brain gets sensitive to fear & he may have sudden feelings of terror when no real danger exists. They may lose control & manifest physical symptoms.

You are suggested to get your son physically examined by a GP for physical symptoms (hyperacidity) but consultation with a Psychiatrist/Counselor/Physiotherapist is a must for treatment of depression & panic disorder.

For Acid reflux, he can take antacids or PPI's under the consultation of a GP.

He may have to go through a series of blood & imaging (CT, MRI, EEG) tests. The treatment will depend upon the severity of pathology detected. He may need anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds for a short term along with behavior & cognitive therapy.

Help him stay away from alcohol, addictions or drug abuse. They will do more harm than good. Let him stay away from stress, the anxiety or physical or emotional origin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
