Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Attacks In A 14 Year Old
My 14 year old granddaughter is visiting me from out of town. We recently lost her Aunt, my 33 year old daughter to suicide. Since this tragedy, my granddaughter has been having what has been diagnosed as "Anxiety Attacks" , she gets sharp pains in her chest and her blood pressure spikes and her pulse is fast. She then begins crying. I was checking to see if I should take her to the emergency room or just try something to calm her down.
