Am I experiencing anxiety attacks with hyperventilation?

Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation

1 Answer
Dr. Vikas Patel

Psychiatrist

Answered on 14th Oct '24

When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

How to reduce adrenaline anxiety?

The inner glands produce adrenaline. Adrenaline is also known as the “fight-or-flight hormone.” It's released in response to a stressful, exciting, dangerous, or threatening situation. Adrenaline helps your body react more quickly. One can reduce adrenaline by activating relaxation response ( in contrast of fight and flight response) by doing meditation, yoga, playing a sport, listening to music ect. One can do relaxation exercises like Jacobsons progressive muscular relaxation, pranayam and through guided imagery.

I have ocd and I take 100mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping at night so can I take 1mg of clonazepam at night, please suggest me.

Male | 30

Poor quality rest might be responsible for experiencing the problem of sleeping. This means that you should be extra careful when attempting to change medications. Clonazepam results in disrupted sleep meaning that increasing the dose doesn't make it better.

I just quit smoking weed 3 days ago. Also just got prescribed venlafaxine for my anxiety. How long should i wait to start taking them?

Female | 20

The period of 7 days should pass after you have quit smoking weed. There should be a week's break between the two treatment regimens. Make sure to stay patient and let your body adapt to the medications.

Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.

Male | 25

Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

To reduce or quit excessive masturbation, gradually reduce frequency, identify triggers, and find alternative activities to occupy your time. Establish a daily routine, limit access to triggering materials, and practice relaxation techniques to manage stress. Seek support from friends or a therapist, and remember that occasional masturbation is normal. If needed, consider professional help. Breaking the habit takes time and patience, so be kind to yourself

I think i might have schizophrenia but i dont know if I'm faking it or not.

Other | 13

When a person has schizophrenia, he/she can undergo experiences like hearing voices or having strange beliefs. The causes might be; their own to the genes and/or the surrounding factors that affect people. Therapy and medicine can be used to help people control their symptoms as well as make their lives better. Speak frankly to a doctor or therapist to get help.

I have been taking paliperidone for the past month. I have been out of it for a couple days so I decided to take some Seroquel to help with the voices and whatnot that I have been hearing. Is there any need to be concerned about the drug interactions if I haven't had any paliperidone I close to 48 hours?

Male | 37

Switching betwee­n medicines like palipe­ridone and Seroquel is tricky. Eve­n if time passed since your last palipe­ridone dose, drug interactions may happe­n. Mixing them risks dizziness, drowsiness, and une­ven heartbeats. Consulting your doctor for pe­rsonalized advice is wise.

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.

I do everything but mentally disturbed everytime I get stressed and it's not easy for me to quit the masterbation and porn addiction I am always confused with my inner stuckness like that don't do anything I want concentrate other work but the fear of interaction anxiety I feel alone everytime.

Male | 25

There is a high likelihood of such feelings when stress is the underlying cause and leads to developing habits that seem very tough to break, for instance, the usage of pornography or masturbation. This is indeed a good initial step. To aid you in your stress reduction, you might consider employing some mindfulness techniques, for instance, some easy ones like deep breathing or meditation. Other things like regular physical exercise and the company of social people can be helpful as well. If continued feelings of confusion and anxiety exist, I am advising to consult a healthcare specialist for a collection of personalized services and support.

Male | 18

High blood pressure can have many causes, including stress. Worrying too much and overthinking may also be signs of anxiety. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking medication. To manage stress and anxiety, try relaxation methods like deep breathing, exercise, or talking to someone you trust.

Anxiety problem in many years

Male | 34

Anxiety means when you experience an excess of uneasiness or fright often, even when it is not a threatening situation. The signs may be anxiety, insomnia, or being on edge. Anxiety can be provoked by many factors such as stress or hereditary traits. To help the situation, you may either talk to a trustworthy person, go to the gym, or practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing.
