Why do I severe anxiety?

Patient's Query

Hi I have a severe phobia of getting infected with some Life threatening disesae which result in severe anxiety

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

You’re going through something called health anxiety, which is when you’re really afraid of getting seriously sick. This can make you feel stressed and worried all the time. Some common signs of this include always being worried that you have a certain illness, checking your symptoms online repeatedly, and avoiding things that could make you anxious. There are ways to deal with it—one way is by talking with someone like a therapist who can help teach strategies for managing these fears.

The symptoms you're describing could be due to a panic attack, which can sometimes mimic a heart attack. It's important to address this issue promptly. Make sure you take your antidepressants consistently as prescribed and consult a mental health expert for the best way to manage your anxiety. Stress management techniques, like deep breathing exercises, can also help with these symptoms.

My doctor changed olanzapine to abilify which I take for bipolar disorder. It is only the second day of the change over and I feel quite anxious. Is this due to withdrawal symptoms from the less olanzapine I'm taking or a side effect of abilify? Will it go away?

Male | 47

Transition periods can be a reason for feeling anxious. Fluctuation in drugs may cause short-lived panic attacks, this may be a result of reducing olanzapine and also starting abilify. Usually, these are transient and will disappear as your body adjusts to the new situation. Be sure to observe your symptoms and let your body get accustomed to the new medication. Even though it is normal, if you continue or become more anxious, talk to your healthcare professional. They can provide you with more support and may change your treatment plan if necessary. You are not the only one in this struggle and a good communication line with your physician is very important.

Female | 30

Hi there­! Taking more medicine than the­ suggested dose can be­ bad. If you take 60mg of fluoxetine inste­ad of 20mg, it can make you feel dizzy, mixe­d up, have a fast heartbeat, or e­ven get seizure­s. It is important to stay calm and tell your doctor right away. The doctor will help you know what to do ne­xt to stay safe and healthy.

Actually I am unable to sleep properly. Maybe after 4-5 sleepless nights, I can sleep a night properly. When I close my eyes, I listen to some noises which don’t have any source actually. Maybe I am facing hallucination

Female | 23

These symptoms may result from different disease such as sleep apnea, anxiety disorders or schizophrenia. I suggest you see a sleep expert or a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis and a treatment.
