Anxiety Disorder. Symptoms like chest hurt, difficulty to fall asleep, anxious and cannot stay calm
Hi. My brother is 25 years old this year. He now lived with my parents. His lifestyle as a teenager is commonly as another teenagers you’ve seen. Lepak, smoking but he’s vaping. He often lepak until 2,3 am and that has made his sleeping schedule a mess. Everything was fine until this quarantine happened, he started to have gastric. We thought the gastric will be gone after he took some pills given by the doctor. But, unfortunately, things has gotten worst. Now, he started to experience symptoms like panic attacks, difficulty to fall asleep, anxious for every 2,3 minutes, lose appetite to eat. We all are very worried after he show these symptoms. and as an aware individual, I am certain that his past lifestyle has affected his condition these days. However, we understand we just cannot make assumptions but he insisted that he sort of have anxiety and that his chest hurt sometimes. I hope there will relevant suggestions come from your team in regards of this matter. Thank you.

Hi there. Thank you for your question.
First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your brother’s symptoms and other health problems you might be facing.
For your information, consultation with us are very limited due to many constrain. I can’t offer much of advice but to suggest him to be seen by doctor. To diagnose someone with panic attack or anxiety disorder further assessment are needed either to rule out other probability of health problem before or coming to a conclusion it is indeed a psychiatry problem.
On top of that, it seems like this condition did affect him greatly that he can’t sleep and eat properly. Hence, I greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor.
