Sudden angry, impatient, high heart rate. Calms down easily. Why is it happening?
Patient: Hello. I was speaking to someone on the phone earlier (part of my job) and they were not nice and I noticed myself becoming impatient and angry. I tried to remain calm, but I started to get this weird feeling in my head like it was going to explode and my heart started to race. When I ended the call and calmed down, those feelings went away and my heart rate was back to normal. Can you please explain possibly why I had been feeling that way? Thanks! Doctor: Hi,  Low frustration tolerance and anxiety may be the cause of your symptoms. You need evaluation for the similar problem in other life circumstances. Other reason may be disliking for the nature of job.  You may seek psychiatrist help if symptoms are severe and affecting your job/social life.  Apart from that proper rest/sleep, stoppage of substance use (if any), aerobic exercise, healthy diet and supportive counseling will help you.  I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.  Regards, Dr. Ashish Mittal www.99doctor.com
