-I find it hard to relax and fall asleep. If i do i often wake up in the night.

- I have a lot of fear and feel fearful for reasons i can not name.
- I had diarrhoea for a short while but don't anymore and i sweat a lot

Hello
Thanks for asking
Symptoms you have mentioned like feeling of dizziness, fear that you will faints, poor concentration, tiredness, negative thoughts, you look more on negative aspects of life, sweating, aches in muscles and pounding heart or palpitations are most likely due to mild depression or anxiety. If these symptoms are persisting and cause significant impairment in functioning then you should discuss these symptoms with your mother and consult a good psychiatrist.
As it is in mild grades then Relaxation exercises like Progressive Muscles Relaxation Exercises, Breathing Exercises will help in relieving the symptoms in stages of anxiety. Behavior therapy also result in improvement.
Medicines like Propranolol result in decrease in symptoms like anxiety, palpitations, sweating and have good results. The drug can be used in sos basis also. If still condition doesnt improve then SSRIs are used in treatment.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
