A member asked:
Doc gave me klonopin (clonazepam) for shortness of breath, heart pain, numb/tingling and not thinking clearly. it didn't work. what else could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like anxiety: A good history and exam will help rule out other causes. Klonopin can be a short term aid for anxiety (2-4 weeks) but one of the ssri meds like Lexapro (escitalopram) might help more for long term benefits.
