What Could Cause Panic Attack?

Hi, I'm 16 and I havent been feeling that well for about 4-5 days now. I feel exhausted, dizzy, thirsty, and I now have bright green stool. I've also had a couple of panic attacks, which I've never had before. I'm having blood work done on Wednesday, but I have to go back to school tomorrow. and im scared.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The condition that you are having is basically panic attacks. This is a disorder of anxiety and occurs cause of imbalance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. especially serotonin, nor adrenaline, and dopamine to some extent. Medicines are the best options to take care of these symptoms. Paroxetine is the the most popular medicine and my drug of choice. I generally prescribe my patients 12.5 mg per day at night which takes care of anxiety symptoms. Also certain medicines like propranolol and clonazepam can be give as required when there is a panic episode or expected situation where panic attack can appear.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
