Anxiety attacks
I've been having anxiety attacks since the past one year..at first I couldn't figure out what it was but it feels like a gripping sensation in my chest and heart thumping really hard, numbness of my limbs and I feel mentally detached.
I simply can not visit a doctor at this moment. Please suggest some medication I can buy to help.

Dear mam
Unfortunately, you cannot buy medication without a prescription. And to get a prescription, you need to visit a doctor. Treatment of anxiety disorder consists of a through evaluation including some physical tests to rule out any physical cause like thyroid abnormality of needed and further treatment. Management depends on the outcome of assessment and usually consists of medications as well as psychological therapy.
Please see a psychiatrist in person or online for the initial consultation.
You can try certain relaxation techniques like meditation and calm breathing till the time you are able to contact a mental health professional.
Thanks

Tremors, feeling anxious or nervous, sense of panic, sweating, increased heartbeat, feeling of impending doom, stomach discomfort, dizziness etc are signs of anxiety. These can be debilitating. If the anxiety is overwhelming, consult a Psychiatrist at the earliest. With the right medication and counseling, it is likely your symptoms will improve.

Hello practo user
I can understand your concerns regarding your overall health. It seems that some negative past event has remained unresolved and contributing to these distressing symptoms. You can try and practice deep breathing and meditation on a regular basis to help clear your mind of negative thoughts. Go for exercise daily to keep your mind and body healthy. You should try and talk to your close friends and family members and engage in various activities which are enjoyable in nature to help distract you . It is advisable that you seek help from a clinical psychologist for a better understanding of your case and formulation of a personalized treatment plan through regular psychotherapy sessions. You can also reach out to me through the practo app for any further help or guidance.
