I've been experiencing hyperventilation quite often, especially when I'm feeling excited or stressed. It seems to linger in my mind, and when I concentrate on it, I feel like I have some control over it. This usually ends up giving me short panic attacks. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

It feels like I've been on a roller coaster, and I've this scared sensation in my chest most of the day. It gets even worse when I leave the house or when the baby screams. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be anxiety or something else?

I've been struggling with panic attacks, heartburn, and feeling suffocated for the past couple of years. I've had all the tests done, and everything came back normal, but these issues are still there. I've been taking melzap and SomprazD40 for a while now, but I'm not sure if they're helping much. Can you suggest any other ways or treatments that might help me with these problems?

I'm in college and really stressed because I have a paper due tomorrow. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and it's hard to focus, but I know I need to finish it. I've been thinking about taking my Atarax and combining it with caffeine, like maybe 3 shots of espresso. Is that safe?

Combining Atarax (Hydroxyzine) with caffeine is not recommended, as it can cause conflicting effectsAtarax is a sedative, while caffeine is a stimulant. This may lead to increased anxiety or other discomfort. It's better to focus on calming techniques or consult your doctor if you're feeling overwhelmed.
