Why Have I Had Several Panic Attacks In The Last Month Apart From Breathlessness, Chest Discomfort And Dizziness?
Hello doctor I had several panic attacks in the last month because of exams I used to take diazepam to calm down But now i dont know if its panic attacks or something else I feel dizzy , recurrent palpations sometimes I also feel shortness of breath and chest discomfort I’ve been like this for 3 days now Should I take concor or diazepam to calm the palpations at the moment
You are advised to keep yourself calm, just relax. Take water and fluids to keep yourself well hydrated. Dehydration causes restlessness, dizziness and anxiety due to depletion of sodium and potassium level in your electrolyte system. Take balanced homemade food in time, do not miss any meal. it will help to keep your blood pressure and blood glucose level normal & you will feel comfortable, anxiety and panic will get reduced and controlled.
Take a good sleep at night, inadequate sleep, and too much deep thinking may make you anxious and nervous. Avoid deep thinking and do not worry for the examination reports or future happenings. However, you are advised to get clinically examined by a GP, get blood tests, required imaging tests done so that any underlying medical condition that may be causing symptoms may be detected & treatment can be started at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
