Hi my 18yr old daughter will be sitting for her final exams soon, her teachers have indicated that during class time and tests she copes very well but, when it comes to exams she stresses and almost \"crashes\". I mentioned this to our GP who, has suggested pur blocka,is this a good idea?She weighs 42kg, is approx 1,55m and has demonstrated a pattern of low blood pressure and has rynauds syndrome.
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. It seems that your daughter is suffering from exam phobia with or without social anxiety. But other diagnosis like depression, conduct disorder or personality disorder should be ruled out. Pur block contains propranolol which is used to control performance anxiety. But you should consult your psychiatrist. You should take her to psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Doctor after confirming the diagnosis, may advise you to take anti-depressant Chat Doctor.  Doctor may advise counselling and psychotherapy as a part of treatment.Meanwhile, she can do stress management and relaxation therapy like breathing exercise, yoga, meditation etc. for better control over stress. I hope It will help. Thanks.
