Question: Is there any sure fire way of dealing with the symptoms of anxiety?
My Anxiety issues started about a year and a half ago, at first it was causing me to worry more about things but now it's just an increased heart rate and it's more annoying than anything else. I get it when i have a hangover, or if i run up the stairs my heart rate goes rediculous. What would a doctor perscribe?
Answers:
Depends on age and severity.
Assuming you're over 18, you have a good chance of being prescribed a fabulous benzodiazepine. The only reason they try not to prescribe these is that they are abusable and addictive. However, benzodiazepines are effective in almost everybody.
You will probably also be put on an SSRI or SNRI (Antidepressants, most of which have an anxiolytic profile).
Why is this in Respiratory diseases?
