I'm experiencing this thing where I'll suddenly get really scared out of nowhere, and when that happens, my heart starts racing, and then it's like I have a bit of trouble catching my breath. Plus, my legs and the palms of my hands get super cold. Is there a reason why all of these things are happening together? Should I be worried?

To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking a medication called lorazepam (brand name: Ativan). The usual dosage for anxiety is 1-2 mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
