I'm really worried about my partner. She struggles with anxiety and often ends up crying when she's home alone. It's tough because I'm at the office most days. She's just not in a good place right now. Any advice on what steps I should take to help her?

She is experiencing symptoms of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed when alone at home. I recommend she take Xanax (alprazolam) at a low dose of 0.25mg to help manage her anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this anxiety thing, but it's mostly fine during the day. The issue is, for the last three nights, I've been having these heart palpitations. They last for about 5 or 6 seconds, and my heart suddenly starts racing. I'm just wondering, is this kind of thing normal when you have anxiety?

Yes, experiencing heart palpitations can be a common symptom of anxiety, especially if they occur during periods of stress or at night when your mind might be more focused on your worries. However, it is important to rule out any potential heart conditions.
