Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a panic attack two years back. My doctor prescribed anti-depressants. Though they stop panic attacks, I now have nerve-ringing-like sensations all time near my left ear. Also, I feel confused and have headaches sometimes. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to Icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
A panic attack is a sudden overwhelming feeling of acute and disabling anxiety. It is different from the normal fear and anxiety reactions to stressful events. Panic disorder is a serious condition that strikes without reason or warning. The symptoms of panic disorder include sudden attacks of fear and nervousness, as well as physical symptoms such as sweating and a racing heart. Panic attack always happens due to an underlying anxiety disorder. So you need to treat anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is treated with the help of counseling and psychotherapy. I suggest you consult a psychologist.
I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
