Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Simple anxiety and performance anxiety are two different things and need different treatment. The anti anxiety treatment generally ineffective in performance anxiety and that means you need effective counselling to reduce the performance anxiety. The counselling can be delivered by ether a psychiatrist or psychologist.

I request you to see one before any further damage done to your self esteem and sexual performance.

I must assure you that it is treatable condition and there is good chance of recovery.

In case you happen to live in XXXXXXX I will be glad to assist you personally.

Thanks and regards
