Every time I eat I get felling anxious with pulse rate of around 120 which sometimes goes beyond 120 (highest goen 180, mostly happens when I am seating or lying which gets better when I stand up and starts walking. My doctor says you are over thinking and gave inderal la 20 mg tablets. Which helps me in lowing down my pulse but sometime I feel weired (like nervousness between my chests and throat )even when my pulse is perfectly normal i.e. Around 70 -75. I have gerd and allergic rhinitis also is this due to any of these conditions or it is a heart related or its anxiety only. As I have done ecg which is normal. This happens for around 10 months every day and the whole day. When I wake up I am perfectly alright but after breakfast, it starts and remains for the day until a take pill of inderal la, which I usually prefer to take at night so that I can sleep. Kindly help in this regard.

Anxiety occurs due to reduced seronoergic transmission in your mind (brain), serotonin is a neurotransmitter, say for a layman a kind of protein. For some it is inherently less, and very commonly associated with pcod which you have. Inderal (propranolol) is a tablet which does not treat the cause but only the autonomic symptom of increased pulse rate and sweating, etc seen in anxiety. For proper treatment you would need a course of ssri or snri group of medications, which treat the cause of anxiety. Kindly consult an astute psychiatrist for the same. Good luck.

Dear user, nervousness or anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders: including generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorders mainly because medicines do not alter behavior. Behavior change and continuous practice of the changed behavior cure anxiety. I suggest anxiety education, progressive counseling and progressive psychotherapy. I assure you complete cure.
