A member asked:
When i get angry or sometimes it's just a random moment, myheart would just start pounding and takes a while to calm down, anxiety or something else?

Random is the key...: If your heart pounds at random moments with no known cause, then you may be having a panic attack. Becoming sweaty, faint, or flushed are also signs of a panic. If you experience these symptoms in particular situations (e.g., crowds), then it may be anxiety due to a specific phobia. Similar symptoms but different treatments. Also get a check-up to be sure you do not have a heart condition.

I am confused on what i am supposed to do and with cost? I have battling performance (male) anxiety for 3 years now and have went to doctors who have tried meds and once my heart starts pounding before the actual "activity" then its all over. Been married to same partner for 20 years and just within the last 3 this wont go away. Meds were far too expensive to just waste and in my small town all the nurses know people so I only want an online doctor to take care of this. Male Performance Anxiet?
