Maybe: If you drink alcohol or use drugs you need to stop and may need help to do it. If you have anxiety and panic you need therapy and skills to improve coping. If you are infected and have fever as well see your doctor. Discuss this in detail with your doctor regarding the palms of your hands or under arms and she may help you with hyperhidrosis. Botox can help as well as anxiety therapy.
