Hi, whenever Im stressed, my heart beats uncontrolably fast and it feels like my chest is closing. Im a professional and this is affecting my work. I have talked to a doctor before about this and have been prescribed beta blockers (propranalol) for mild anxiety. The continued use of this cant be good! Please help
His understand your concern. Beta blocker can help you to some extent for anxiety. It helps more in performance anxiety. Certain other aspect of it will be evaluated deeply like GAD, depression etc. Some natural ways to treat anxiety and daily stress exercise, meditation, deep breathing and hyperventilationRegular diet and proper sleepEnjoy music and hobbies, do pleasurable activityDiscuss with friends and learn from events. Positive outlook, confidence all this will help you to counter daily stress some patient walk in my clinic with that much of symptoms I usually prefer I have treat so many patients with mild dose of benzodiazepine and mild dose of SSRI like Escitalopram 5 mg and Mizoram .25 but before taking these medicines you have to consult psychiatrist and evaluate your self. Still have a query then feel free to ask. Get well soon. Thank you.
