Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been feeling progressively high. I do not know how to verbalize my issues. I feel like my heart is beating fast. And also, I have pressure in my eyes, on and off breathlessness. But there was no change in my respiratory rate. I went to the hospital and had blood examinations, and the reports were normal. I have had a history of Marijuana use for the past three years.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms could be suggestive of panic attacks or partial epilepsy seizures. So, I would recommend doing an EEG (electroencephalogram), complete blood count, blood electrolytes, and thyroid hormone levels to rule out the cause.

I hope you will find this information helpful.

Kind regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
