Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 28 5' 9" and weigh 180.6 lbs. I have had history of panic attacks and chest pains. been told nothing is wrong w me. For the past year I have had what feels like someone trying to revive me w a defibrillator. I just took my BP and it was 106/75 and I was feeling light headed and I was having heart flutters and i am sitting down is that ok?
All these symptoms looks psychological, most probably panic state. Your bp is also fine. You try ignore these problems and try some relaxation techniques like yoga. Also maintain good physical activities. Breathing exercises and traditional breathing retraining involves slow, abdominal breathing exercises. There are many ways of psychotherapy which will be taught to you in person by psychiatrist. Medicines are also available like fluoxetine which you can get prescribed from your psychiatrist. At this point of time, no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
