I am 18 years old male and I am having my first panic attack (anxiety) in march 2019 during exams. After that I am having shortness of breath and I managed to control it by exercise and meditation. Currently I am preparing for exam and facing with lack of concentrating and feeling low (energy). I masturbate too much I think (physically weak. Can I take brahmi syrup (himalaya)? If yes then in what quantity? Thank you!

Dear user. I can understand. Panic attack a sudden overwhelming feeling of acute and disabling anxiety. Panic disorder is different from the normal fear and anxiety reactions to stressful events. Panic disorder is a serious condition that strikes without reason or warning. Symptoms of panic disorder include sudden attacks of fear and nervousness, as well as physical symptoms such as sweating and a racing heart. Panic attack always happens due to an underlying anxiety disorder. So you need to treat anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is treated with the help of counseling and psychotherapy. You should consult a psychologist. Take care.

Panic and anxiety are psychiatric disorders which occur due serotonin neurotransmitter changes in your brain. It can very well and easily treated by a psychiatrist. Kindly consult one. Masturbation is a normal behavior, so don't have guilt about the same. Good luck.
