Hi doctor,
I am a 31-year-old woman, and for eight years, I have been having these random panic attacks. When they hit, I get super anxious, my blood pressure drops down, my hands shake, and I start sweating and crying. These episodes typically last for 5 to 10 minutes. I think it might be anxiety. I used to take Fluoxetine tablets after consulting a doctor, and they helped. But, I stopped taking these tablets after only a month of taking them because I was worried I would develop a habit. I am wondering if there is anything else I can do or if I should start with the same medicines again. Any advice on managing these anxiety and panic attacks would be great.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. As per your symptoms, I think you are going through a generalized anxiety disorder with panic.
Thank you.
