Hello =) my name is steven, I have been with my girlfriend for 1 year and 9 months, in that time she developed something really weird with shortness of breath and chest pains to not being able to breath @ all I looked around and found out she has anxiety and panic attacks, every symptom to the letter and nothing more, I want her to go to a docter and follow the stuff I found online, she doesnt trust doctors since one mest up her nanas prescription and killed her. I wanna be a good boyfriend and not lie to her. And just take her to a hospital, but they r getting worse. I love her to death even though Im 17 and leaving for the airforce and she is 14. But I am concerened about her having an episode and Im not there. What should I do?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I appreciate your positive and caring attitude towards her. Her all symptoms are mostly due to uncontrolled stress, anxiety and panic disorder. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution. She will need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Counselling plays very important role in management of stress and anxiety along with anxiolytic
