Hello......... Thanks for your query. Symptoms like hyperventilation, palpitations, increased sweating are characteristic of anxiety disorder. A thorough psychiatric evaluation is essential which can be followed by anti-anxiety drugs and psychotherapy (cognitive behavioural therapy). Breathing relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation practices and avoiding tea/coffee would be beneficial in your case. Regards Dr Sundar Gnanavel Psychiatrist
