<human>: hi I ve been having bouts of palpitations and the feeling of dizziness that can come on all of a sudden which I m finding quite scary and i am now getting the feeling of an obstruction in my throat that i can feel when i swallow does this mean i may be suffering from panic attack or could there be another answer as ive never experienced this and find it unpleasant and scary
<bot>: Hello...... Thanks for your query. The symptoms you are describing are classic of panic attack. However, other conditions like thyroid disorders, fluctuations in blood sugar/blood pressure and serum electrolyte abnormalities need to be ruled out. If the tests are negative, you would require a psychiatric evaluation for panic disorder and other anxiety related disorders. Wish you speedy recovery. Regards Chat Doctor.
