Panic Attacks Answer A5307

Current medical status: pains shooting from one side to another side of head, numbness in arm and fingers down one side,dryness in mouth,shaking in body,pins and needles in fingers,feel short of breath.
Current medical treatment: propranol 80mg 2 aday

The variety of symptoms can not be associated with one disorder except for the panic attacks. The treatment you take is not first line of treatment for panic attacks. Probably it was given for the shortness of breath and certain symptoms related to the heart. You might want to visit a psychiatrist for adequate treatment.
