Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Persistent heaviness in head, feelings of fear on hearing something bad etc symptoms usually occur due to mild depression or anxiety. As these symptoms are persistent since last 4 years so I would advise you to visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

In such symptoms SSRI medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc help to improve the condition. These drugs when taken regularly result in improvement with in 4 weeks. For severe anxiety provoking situations medicines like Propranolol, Clonazepam etc can be used. These medicines help to reduce the symptoms of fear and will increase your confidence. Please visit a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care.
