HELLO AANCHAL,
YOUR REPORTED SYMPTOMS -severe anxiety and panic attacks -feeling suffocated, abnormal breathing -shivering, trembling of body -chronic fatigue, oversleeping -dizziness on standing, head spinning -depression- like mood -early signs of glaucoma and sinus issues
AYURVEDIC EXPLANATION your symptoms reflects three key pathologies 1)VATA PRAKOPA- disturbed air element- causes anxiety, fear, trembling, breathlessness, insomnia, dizziness
2)KAPHA AMA SAMCHAYA- toxic build up of sluggish mucus element- leads too heaviness, depression, drowsiness , sinus congestion
3)MANASIKA DOSHA IMBALANCE(rajas-tamas aggravation)- overthinking(rajas)+lethargy, hopelessness(tamas).
MENTAL LAYER -In ayurveda, the mind(Manas) is governed by satva(clarity), rajas(activity), and tamas(inertia) . you’re like facing -EXCESS RAJAS->panic, restlessness -EXCESS TAMS->sleepiness, sadness, dullness
SINUS AND GLAUCOMA CONNECTION -sinus congestion suggests kapha build up in the head. this can affect prana and worsen anxiety. -glaucoma (if raised intraocular pressure) needs extra care as some oils are contraindicated
TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata dosha -clear kapha accumulation -balance rajas and tamas -nourish and strengthen the nervous system -improve quality of sleep -reduce panic response -enhance energy and clarity -prevent progression -restore emotional resilience

Anxiety, Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.
❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…
Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)
🧘♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.
❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.
❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive… too much motivation can also cause depression.
✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.
✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.
💊 Medication: 💊
Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.
Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food.
Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

If you have any questions u can ask me.I will answer to the level of your satisfaction.U have text option here.
Anxiety and panic can be complex issues often rooted in imbalances in the mind-body equilibrium. In Ayurveda, these symptoms could be linked to a vitiation of the Vata dosha. Excess Vata can lead to irregular breathing, restlessness, and mental disturbances. Addressing these imbalances would be crucial to finding relief.
First, grounding the Vata dosha through diet can help. Consider including warm, cooked meals rich in good fats like ghee and cooked vegetables. Root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrots can provide grounding energy. Avoid cold or raw foods, as they can aggravate Vata. Regular mealtimes are helpful too, it helps to stabilize your body’s rhythm.
Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha can be quite beneficial. Ashwagandha has adaptogenic properties that can help reduce stress and anxiety, take about 500 mg of the standardized extract twice daily after meals. Consult any local healthcare professional to adjust dosage as per your specific condition if needed.
For immediate relief, practice deep breathing exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for 10-15 minutes twice daily. This can aid in calming the mind and improving breathing patterns. Additionally, Yoga asanas like Shavasana (corpse pose) and Balasana (child’s pose) can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety symptoms.
Sleep hygiene is crucial; try to go to bed at the same time every night to help reset your body clock. Drink a glass of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed to promote restful sleep.
Remember, if symptoms persist, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions like anemia or thyroid imbalance that may be contributing to your symptoms. It’s important not to delay seeking help from medical experts if symptoms intensify, as immediate professional guidance might be necessary.
