Hello........ Thanks for your query. Panic disorder frequently coexists with agoraphobia i.e characterised by anxiety symptoms associated with closed spaces or crowded places. I would suggest you undergo a psychiatric evaluation to rule out the above disorders in addition to other anxiety disorders. I would like to reassure you that they are not life threatening conditions. The treatment include anti-anxiety drugs like SSRIs as well as psychotherapy techniques like CBT/Cognitive behavioural therapy. Wish you good health. Regards Dr Sundar Psychiatrist
