Specializes in Psychiatry

See that you become: Anxious, have heart palpitations, experience lightheadeadness ; may start to lose balance. Have you been evaluated for a possibly anxiety disorder or panic disorder? Have medical causes for these symptoms been ruled out? I would start with your physician or a psychiatrist.
