| HFHS MD-JM 3/27/2000 | jmh | JMH, Please search this forums archives for past discussions on panic attacks, Panic disorder, Anxiety secondary to a general medical condition. I think the first thing that needs to be done is to have a complete physical with special attention to your cardiovascular system. If there is no identifiable medical problem then it would be helpful to see a psychiatrist for further evaluation of these anxiety symptoms. Good luck. Sincerely, HFHS MD-JM Keywords: Anxiety | [Thread closed to new comments] |
