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.
im having random panic attacks throughout the day. im always worried about everything, even little things like work and even sleeping. This makes me lose sleep because i cant sleep until 4-6 am and if im able to go to sleep then i wake up in a couple hours because im anxious or scared for no reason.
You have severe anxiety and panic attacks. The panic attacks are causing significant decline in functioning in day time and decrease in sleep in night. You remain scared for no reason. As the anxiety is very severe there is need to consult a psychiatrist for treatment. Medicines and psychological both methods of treatment are available for treatment.
For acute severe panic attacks medicines like propranolol or low dose benzodiazepines like etizolam, clonazepam etc are usually used. These medicines help to reduce the symptoms of severe anxiety. For proper treatment and to reduce frequency of panic attacks medicine like SSRIs are usually prescribed. Fluoxetine, Sertaline etc are approved for severe anxiety and panic attacks. These medicines are prescription medicines so consult a Psychiatrist for detailed prescription.
Non-medicinal treatment includes Behaviour Therapy, Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises, Breathing Exercises etc. These methods help to reduce the frequency of attacks and also reduce intensity of attacks.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
