Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First of all, an inferiority complex, social phobia, poor concentration, and fear of everything can be a manifestation of depression or anxiety disorders. Having said this, we need to understand that the same symptoms can be present in abnormal thyroid function. The presence of hypertension and palpitations is another factor, which points out that, we need to rule out thyroid problems. I mean to say that please get T3, T4, and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) from a nearby laboratory as this could be the only thing as possible root cause of your problem. In addition, we also need to evaluate the renal function. For doing the same please get blood urea and serum creatinine test from the medical laboratory. Once the two tests are done, revert back to me with the details of the report.

Thank you.
