Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, i'm a teenage girl and just need help about all the things that happen to me when i'm at school. I get really anxious and when i stand up i get really dizzy. My hands are extremely sweaty and my hands and feet are constantly shaking. I get a tight, uncomfortable feeling in my chest and I also occasionally find it hard to swallow? why is this?
From what you have mentioned, you seem to be manifesting symptoms of anxiety. An anxious state leads to increased heart rate, dizziness, increased sweating, tremors, tightness in chest. Often such symptoms can suddenly exacerbate leading to a heightened state of anxiety which results in panic attacks.
I would suggest that you discuss your symptoms with your parents and consult a psychiatrist for initiating treatment. Medications like paroxetine would be beneficial in your condition and will help control your anxiety. In addition, you should start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better.
I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
