I really need help. please help me get my life back. I cant go to church functions or the store without my face turning red and sweet starts pouring down my face. Especially with the hot weather it gets worse. I hope a doctor in Charleston or Goose Creek SC can help me. Thank you

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms like hot flashes, inability to function normally at job, inability to go to social functions because of anxiety should be treated with proper medicines. Anxiety disorders are very distressing disorders and cause significant blow to normal functioning. In anxiety disorders especially along with hot flashes medicines like SNRIs especially Venlafaxine, Duloxetine etc are used. These medicines also provide effective control over anxiety. Along with this medicines like Propranolol or low dose Clonazepam are also used. These medicines help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and provide effective control over anxiety symptoms.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care.
