Hello doctor. My name is jimmi and im a 23 year old male who doesnt smoke and rarely drinks. About a year ago I started feeling anxious about going out and eating out. I feel extremely sick to the point sometimes I vomit. I have no idea why. Lately I have been getting it more often and get this feeling in my cheeks similar to when I blow up balloons. I m nervous to go to a doctor and don t really like talking about it. Any help you prove will be much appreciated. Thankyou for your time
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety and panic attacks (when you become excessively sick and feel like throwing). I have seen venlafaxine showing good response in similar cases. Starting with 37.5\u00a0mg and building up to to 225\u00a0mg; increasing by 37.5\u00a0mg every week or two weeks till there is sufficient response. The Chat Doctor.  Usually response starts to come in 3-5days in most patients. You may also take etizolaam 0.5\u00a0mg under scene of extreme anxiety.Don't worry and start the meds, you may discuss these with your doctor. You will surely get better. Wish you good luck
