Sudden Anxiety with Shaking and Breathlessness Due to Overthinking – Need Advice on Occasional Mild Medication

Patient's Query

I experience sudden anxiety episodes where my left hand shakes, I have difficulty breathing, and feel very low. These episodes are triggered by overthinking. I'm seeking advice on mild, low-dose medication that I can take only when necessary

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

Your symptoms suggest anxiety or panic episodes, likely triggered by overthinking. Occasional use of mild, low-dose anti-anxiety medication (like Etizolam or Clonazepam) may help, but only under a doctor’s supervision.

✔️ Practice breathing exercises and mindfulness daily
✔️ Avoid stimulants like caffeine and screen overuse
✔️ Therapy (CBT) is highly effective for long-term control

Please consult a psychiatrist  to prescribe the safest option tailored to your needs. Avoid self-medication.

Male | 29

You seem to be having symptoms of anxiety. The feeling of fear, headaches, and the tendency to worry about your health are some of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxious people checking blood pressure regularly is a typical behavior. The anxiety could be the reason for the high blood pressure. For relaxation techniques, exercise, and therapy can be useful.

I have ADD / Inattentive ADHD. I’m having extreme problems with weight loss but my medication (Generic for Vyvanse), Suppresses my appetite and I can’t gain any weight. Are there any prescriptions I can try that won’t suppress my appetite and will help me gain weight?

Male | 18

It appears that you’re having trouble losing weight because of the medicine you’re taking for ADD/Inattentive ADHD. Your appetite is affected by this drug thus making it hard for you to gain weight. It may help if you talk to your doctor about trying another medication that doesn’t suppress appetite. Such a change could enable you to reach a healthy weight. Speak with your healthcare provider regarding your concerns so that they can find the right solution.

Feeling too sleepy but still not getting sleep

Female | 27

This happe­ns when you're anxious or stresse­d. Irregular habits play a role too. Caffeine­ and screen time be­fore bed don't help e­ither. Try a calming routine - read, take­ a warm bath. Avoid caffeine, scree­ns close to bedtime. Ke­ep a consistent slee­p schedule. If it persists, talk to a therapist or counsellor.

Male | 14

You might have acid reflux making your chest feel weird after eating. It could also be anxiety. Dry, scratchy eyes are another sign of being anxious. You should try eating more slowly and staying away from spicy foods as well as doing relaxation exercises or talking with someone you trust about what's on your mind Managing your anxiousness can also help with relieving dryness so if needed use some artificial tears.

I'm struggling to maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene. I'm just not able to do anything, either I want my surroundings to be too clean or very messy. I'm just not able to live anymore. I'm tired of everything. I just don't have any energy left. I was an academically perfect student but now even my grades started falling down.

Female | 17

Well, it seems that you could be having OCD symptoms like failing to keep up with hygiene and cleanliness. I suggest seeing a psychiatrists who works with OCD to discuss your symptoms and consider treatments.

I've not been getting my periods in have been on risperidone for 1 year since then my periods stopped how long will it take for my periods to resume back

Female | 38

Of some medications, medicines such as risperidone to affect the menstrual cycle is a common thing. The reason might be hormonal or situational changes. It may last for a short or a long time depending on the individual, however, if a person stops taking the drug, the problem may go on for a couple of weeks to several months. I suggest healthy living for metabolization, such as diet regulation and regular physical activity, which might help the body maintain its natural rhythm. It is advised to see your doctor who can provide you with personalized guidance and exclude the existence of any hidden health issues.

I have a history of anorexia, and just recently relapsed. I'm trying to return to normal eating, following the advice of medical professionals to avoid refeeding syndrome, but my father is insisting on feeding me dense foods right away to get me "back to normal" as soon as possible, ignoring my concerns in regards to the risk of potentially fatal complications. Is there a way to treat this at home safely, or a place to seek help outside of the emergency room?

Female | 24

However, reintroducing food should be done cautiously to prevent complications, such as refeeding syndrome, which can occur with rapid changes in diet. It's important to start with small, easily digestible meals, gradually increasing the amount and density over time. Engage with a nutritionist or therapist specializing in eating disorders for personalized guidance. Communication with your father about your needs is also key. If you feel overwhelmed, consider seeking support from outpatient programs or community resources equipped to help in a nurturing environment. Your well-being is paramount.

I have recently increased my anixety & nervousness....and I have suffered from emotional break...

Female | 29

Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

The tetanus toxoid vaccine produces immunity by blocking the bacterial infection. If you see redness, warmth, or swelling, or if you have fever or muscle stiffness, contact the doctor as fast as you can. Monitor the different symptoms that may arise and just come back to us if there is any need

I get fainting and I have so many negative thoughts and it's change my behaviour and I suffer lot

Female | 18

Your drooping spirits and the negatives in your thinking have the consequence of your behavior. Various causes of these signs are found hence people having been under a lot of stress or anxiety experience the same feeling. When you go through the emotions focus on the end of this exercise: slow breathing and calming of the soul. Besides, communicating with your close friends or even family members can be helpful. You can also recognize that it's important to ask for help when needed.
