Dear doctor,My anxiety problem started after losing a job in August 2013. I worked for 4 years in a tiring and stressful position and put up with a lot of unfavourable conditions then I lost my job because of no fault of my own. About 1 month after the job loss I went for an interview and during the interview I felt extremely sick. My heart started to pound, my head went dizzy, I felt very nauseated and afraid. I lost that opportunity. I went for another job interview and the symptoms were even worst. They have continued up to the present time. I am still suffering from the same symptoms only in serious situations which requires a lot of concentration such as during a job interview and at school ( I study part-time at university) during the exams I feel the same. I feel very nervous and sick. What seems to be the problem?Thank you for your response,Maryam Erfani

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have performance anxiety. In that case, you should consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You need low dose antidepressant and benzodiazepine. That would help to control the anxiety symptoms, You can also do some relaxation exercise to control underline anxiety.Thanks
