Anxiety & Panic
Understanding the condition
Anxiety is more than ordinary stress when it continues, feels difficult to control or limits daily life. Dr. Sridhar reviews the symptoms, triggers, physical health, sleep and everyday impact before planning treatment.
The consultation explores what happens before, during and after worry or panic, including avoidance and physical symptoms. Sleep, caffeine, medicines and relevant medical causes are also considered.
When an assessment may help
Ask for an assessment when worry, panic or avoidance repeatedly limits daily life. New chest pain, fainting or severe breathing difficulty needs prompt medical assessment.
Persistent worry that feels difficult to control
Panic episodes, racing heart, breathlessness or trembling
Avoiding travel, crowds, meetings or social situations
Restlessness, muscle tension or stomach discomfort
Poor sleep and repeated reassurance seeking
