Hi doctor,
I am a 26 year old female. My weight is about 310 to 315 lbs. My height is 5'7". I am in need to know if I am crazy or need to go to the ER. I have for some time now been having these sorts of attacks. I could not breathe, feel extremely hot and break in sweats. My chest is tight. My eyes get blurry. I feel like losing control of myself. For some reason, my left arm feels so weird, numb and tingling with lots of pressure.

Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It all seems to be an acute panic attack or acute anxiety attack. You need to distress yourself.
- Lifestyle modification will suit you better like meditation, yoga, aerobics, zumba, and breathing exercise.
- Still, if the symptoms are distressing, then I suggest you the following. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take treatment with consent.
- Tablet Alprazolam 0.25 mg before going to sleep for 15 days.
- Tablet Matilda forte once a day after meals for 15 days.
- Capsule Uprise D3 (vitamin D3) 60k once a week for four weeks.
- If symptoms are increasing and affecting your daily activities, then you need to get investigated and checked by your physician.
