Anxiety and Palpitations

I've been having heart palpitations since December 2025, my pulse rate used to be almost above 110 when checked. My doctor gave me a bunch of medications which kinda worked I think and last month he told me to stop them and take only when required but now I don't know I'm almost crying everyday. At night, my brain feels like a safari where 100's of tabs are open and needs to shut down. There are random questions, random scenarios. I flinch even when there's any unusual sound. I wake up scared and palpitated in the morning. I took ELM Pro, as prescribed to me. But why is it happening again? It literally stopped and I was all better.

Could my symptoms be a brain tumor?

I am 26 years old and I’m very worried something serious may be going on, even wondering if I should rule out a brain tumor. For some time I’ve had extreme increasing forgetfulness (sometimes even forgetting meals), confusion, word-finding trouble/fumbling while speaking, occasional imbalance while walking stairs, mild headaches on waking, anxiety attacks around 4 a.m., and I sometimes vomit when very stressed. I am on pexidep 12.5CR since 3 Years My all test are normal B12 is 326 and I do exercise daily .but mental weak I also have extreme fearfulness and severe abandonment issues, cannot cope with stress well, and when I feel something may end or get disrupted, I can feel suicidal or overwhelmed. Could these symptoms be due to severe anxiety/panic or something neurological, and do they sound concerning enough to need a neurological evaluation? Should I consider a brain MRI or other tests to rule out serious causes? Please guide me on what evaluation would be appropriate.

Delayed  my Work and Delayed My Future

Hello Doctor, I am a 25-year-old male currently preparing for job interviews while also working in a shift from 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM. I am also dealing with financial stress and family responsibilities. For the past few weeks, I have been facing difficulty with both focus and sleep. I find it hard to concentrate for long periods, get distracted easily, and often feel mentally fatigued. My sleep is also inconsistent — sometimes I take a long time to fall asleep, and other times I wake up feeling unrefreshed. Because of my work shift, my routine is slightly irregular, and I am not sure if that is contributing to the problem. I wanted to understand: 1. Whether this could be due to stress, anxiety, or my work schedule 2. If I should get any tests done 3. Whether medication is required or if lifestyle changes would be enough 4. How I can improve both focus and sleep naturally with my current schedule I do not have any known major medical conditions. Thank you.

Suddenly Changed behaviour.

My mother has developed recent behavioral and thinking changes over the past few days. She has become very suspicious and believes that people are spying on us and trying to harm our family. She specifically thinks that my uncle and aunt, along with some local people, are monitoring us and have even installed a camera in our ceiling fan to keep track of our movements. She also believes that certain known people may harm us and that relatives are trying to turn me and my brother against her or take away our father’s job benefits. Along with these beliefs, her behavior has changed noticeably,she often murmurs or talks to herself, speaks less than before. She shows disorganized behavior such as preparing and packing food for people who are not actually coming, particularly during meal times, and if confronted she become angry and shout , currently she is on Clonafit Plus at night and OleAnZ 5 at afternoon advised a general physician, which makes her sleepy in the evening , no energy to wo
