Suggest treatment for panic attacks
Patient: I became a widow on December 29, 2014 after 46 years of marriage. I suffer from panic attackes everynight. Waking up around 3:00 every morning in the middle of these attacks. I find it very hard to cry, is this my body s way of handling the grief or is this a more serious problem?l Doctor: HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have panic disorder and that would be due to stress or grief reaction. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. That would help you to control underline anxiety as well as keep you relax. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. If you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
