<human>: I am a 16 year old female, I am 7 and a half stone and while disabled suffer no other illnesses. I have had spells where my vision blurs, my hearing changes so that the pitch of the people talking around me is painful, I sweat excessively and my heart races. These spells happen for 15-20 minutes at a time and I have suffered from them since I was a child however it is only recently when they happened during the day (while I was in lessons). Any suggestions toward the cause?
<bot>: Hello, Your symptoms are consistent with panic disorder where there is excessive sweating and palpitations. SSRIs especially fluoxetine(Prozac) is the treatment of choice for long-term management of Panic disorder. You should consult a psychiatrist on your problem. Acutely when the panic attack sets in, you should breathe deeply and a benzodiazepine can relieve the attack. Thanks for asking question on Chat Doctor. I hope this information helps.
