How can stress and panic attacks be treated?
human
I have a friend who is live in staff at a homeless shelter. He deals with a lot of people that have mental illness which wears him down. The situation can be high stress. He s 56 and has had 2 heart attacks. I take Alprazolam and was thinking of suggesting it might help him cope and be good for his heart. He does not believe in panic attacks . He think real men don t have panic attacks. Probably a hard ques to answer.

the best drug to manage panic attacks will be propranolol for him. alprazolam should be advised if he is having any depression. for this case it will be best to first practice behavioural therapy and supplement propranolol for prophylaxis. ( as it is drug of choice for compensated heart failure as well as stress disorder . )
