QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Heller,
I get sweaty and breathe real heavy and get dizzy and feel like I’m going to vomit when I’m in crowds, help me.
ANSWER:
You likely have a combination of “social phobia” and panic disorder. I would highly encourage you to read more about them and particularly to get them treated. Finding all the diagnoses and comprehensively treating them is an excellent idea as well. The screening test I use for my patients may be of help to you.
