Q. How serious is social anxiety and what are the treatment methods?
Hi doctor,
I get panic attacks and breathing difficulty during work due to suffocation. My colleagues criticise me. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have social anxiety. Follow the below steps;
1. I suggest tablet Alprazolam 0.5 mg twice daily before panic attacks if it happens always in the same period.
2. Practice mindfulness and breathing techniques.
3. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
