Dear Ask The Doctor: Dear Doctor, I feel my heart beat rate increase at the same time both of my hands will be shivering specially when it happen to face an interview,or going to do any presentations programmes infront of people.it is a long time problem for me. I used to take Proponol 500mg tab.and experienced a good and temporary solution for my problem.but I need your kind advise to find out a permanent cure for this.
Dear Nizam:The symptoms you describe are related to anxiety. When you are placed in a stressful, difficult or anxious environment you experience heart palpitations and tremor in the hands. This is a normal physiological response to the hormone adrenaline often known as the “fight or flight response”. Propranolol is useful to combat these symptoms, in addition to breathing into a brown paper bag, and other relaxation techniques. If your symptoms occur on a regular basis, I would advise attending your family doctor to discuss strategies to manage your symptoms. |
