I currently have a situation where I get anxious, my heart races, and I wake up at night with a racing heart. My heart rate once went up to 140 at work, and a friend gave me Xanax 0.25mg, which helped greatly. I have a very stressful job and sometimes break out in hives due to stress. I've cut out caffeine from my diet, which helped some, but I still have panic attacks. All the doctors I've been to want to put me on Paxil and Zoloft, which do not help, as I do not suffer from depression, only anxiety. Could I get a low dosage to help my anxiety?

I have tried to get into see my care provider, but with time and the availability of appointments, it has been almost impossible.

I experience pain in my lower abdomen at times, which feels hot and tender when not in pain. My bowels are okay, and I eat sensibly, but I have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I am not taking anything for IBS and am on warfarin, so I need to be careful about what I take. Can you suggest anything for my IBS pain, and is there a diet I can try?

I'm 76 and overweight. My fingers and toes on the right side only are noticeably red and different from the left side. It starts midway of the foot to the toes and hand to the tips of the fingers. It's worse at the end of the day. I also have a rash on both feet, numbness and tingling in both hands, and significant swelling in my legs, feet, and ankles by the end of the day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
