Sudden anxiety, panic, lack of energy.

Asked for Male, 47 years

42 year old male. Sudden onset of anxiety and panic attacks starting late last summer/early fall. No prior history. Work meetings, doc visits, visiting family, even fireworks, watching tense movies and going shopping difficult now. Feels like loud noises and tense situations very easily spike heart rate and bring on attacks. Also feels like energy levels dropped. Easily tired out now. Taking Buspirone, but that only helps a bit, and side effects no fun. All doc tests come back clean.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Did the doctor do any thyroid and cardiac tests? When did this problem start? Does the patient take any social drug? Do you feel they could benefit from meeting with a counselor? If these problems are affecting his routine life then he needs physical treatment and also mental treatment to help him come back on a healthier track. Consult a medical specialist and psychologist near you.
