Namastey
What youâre experiencing fits a pattern of panic/anxiety with intrusive thoughts (often called harm-type OCD features) layered over gut issues like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. The key point: intrusive thoughts are not intentionsâthey are unwanted, anxiety-driven thoughts, and the distress you feel about them actually shows your values are intact. Your physical symptoms (chest pain, dizziness, numbness, detachment) are very common in panic states and can be intensified by reflux and low nutrients. Medication-wise, youâve tried SSRIs (Escitalopram / Paroxetine), but side effects and gastric sensitivity are an issueâthis needs fine-tuning, not stopping abruptly. Low
Vitamin D and borderline reserves can also worsen fatigue and mood. At this stage, the right specialist to continue with a clinical psychologist, Counsellor (for therapy like CBT/ERP); this combination gives the best results. Cases especially like yours are significantly well managed and also treated with Counselling sessions.

Health Tips
Your system is in a sensitized state, so healing will come from consistency, not quick fixes. Keep a steady routineâregular meals (gut-friendly, non-spicy), fixed sleep timing, and limited exposure to triggering news or conflict. When intrusive thoughts come, donât fight or analyze themâlabel them gently as âjust thoughtsâ and let them pass, like clouds; this reduces their power over time. Simple grounding techniques (slow breathing, holding something cold, focusing on surroundings) can quickly calm panic waves. Youâve already taken strong stepsâquitting smoking and alcohol is hugeânow itâs about gradual nervous system reset. Thank You
