What Is The Cause And Treatment For Anxiety?

When i get really excited right before sex i feel my heart rush, and right away i got a huge headache on the right side, and i begin to have breathing problem (SOB). I start to feel anxious and feel like i am going to have a heart attack or a stroke and then i am not able to have sex with my partner. I am 27 year old male. Also in the past few months I lost a lot of weight and my doctor said it was because of the anxiety which i am not sure that i have.

HI,
THANKS FOR USING HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
THE SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE MENTIONED SEEMS SOME KIND OF PANIC ATTACK (ANXIETY DISORDER). DO YOU HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS ONLY BEFORE SEX OR AT OTHER TIMES ALSO. DO YOU HAVE ANY ABOVE MENTIONED SYMPTOMS IN A KIND OF CLOSED SPACE OR CROWDED AREAS OR IN HEIGHT?
YOU WILL BE BENEFITED WITH SSRI (ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATIONS) AND SOME KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES SUCH AS COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY SINCE YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE PRECIPITATED BY THE EXCITEMENT BEFORE SEX. ALSO DO THYROID FUNCTION TESTS WHICH WILL GIVE SOME CLUE ABOUT THE RECENT LOSS OF WEIGHT AND PANIC SYMPTOMS. FEEL FREE FOR FURTHER QUERIES.
THANK YOU
