Talk to Psychiatry on Sleep Problems, Anxiety, Chest Discomfort & Suffocation In Closed Spaces – Need Advice
Asking for Self, Male, 37 years old, Rawalpindi
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Age: 37 years
It has been almost two months since the sudden death of a very close relative due to a heart attack. Since then, my sleep has been severely disturbed, and I usually cannot sleep for more than two hours at night.
I experience significant restlessness and anxiety. My stomach also becomes upset at times. Occasionally, the left side of my body feels heavy. I also feel a sense of heaviness in my chest and pain or discomfort in my left arm and wrist.
I have consulted a local doctor twice. He prescribed some medications for my stomach and sleep, but they have not provided much relief.
I would also like to mention that for the past 10–12 years, I have had difficulty staying in closed or confined spaces. I cannot sleep in a closed room because I start feeling suffocated, as if my breathing is being restricted. The same happens when I am in a washroom or travelling in a small or crowded vehicle. This problem has existed for many years, but it has become much more severe recently.
I would be grateful for any guidance regarding these symptoms.
JazakAllah Khair.

آپ جس کیفیت سے گزر رہے ہیں، قریبی عزیز کی اچانک وفات کے بعد اس کا شدت اختیار کر جانا واقعی بہت تکلیف دہ ہو سکتا ہے۔ ?
آپ کی بیان کردہ علامات—بند جگہوں میں گھٹن، چھوٹے یا ہجوم والے مقامات سے خوف، سانس رکنے کا احساس، وہاں سے نکل جانے کی شدید خواہش، اور حالیہ بے چینی و نیند کی خرابی—زیادہ تر panic attacks کے ساتھ agoraphobia یا claustrophobia سے ملتی جلتی محسوس ہوتی ہیں۔ تاہم آن لائن مکمل تشخیص ممکن نہیں۔
چونکہ آپ کو سینے میں بوجھ، بائیں بازو میں درد اور جسم کے ایک طرف بھاری پن بھی ہوتا ہے، اس لیے ایک مرتبہ جسمانی معائنہ اور دل کا جائزہ بھی ضروری ہے تاکہ کوئی طبی وجہ نظر انداز نہ ہو۔ اس کے بعد ماہرِ نفسیات سے تفصیلی assessment، anxiety-focused therapy اور ضرورت پڑنے پر مناسب علاج سے عموماً بہتری آ جاتی ہے۔ نیند، روزمرہ اعتماد اور زندگی کا معیار بھی بہتر ہو سکتا ہے۔
حوصلہ رکھیں، یہ کیفیت قابلِ علاج ہے اور بروقت مدد سے آپ دوبارہ معمول کی زندگی کی طرف لوٹ سکتے ہیں۔
ڈسکلیمر: یہ آن لائن معلومات عمومی رہنمائی کے لیے ہیں، مکمل تشخیص یا ذاتی علاج کا متبادل نہیں۔ شدید یا مسلسل علامات میں مستند ماہر سے براہِ راست رابطہ کریں۔
