Hi:
I am a 20 years old male who recently have a palpitation for few days,
I have visited a psychiatrist and she say I have anxiety, and referred
me to get psychotherapy. I visit the psychotherapy clinic in the other
day, after seen by a social worker she makes an appointment for me to
visit a psychotherapost on June 8.

However yesterday my appetite improve a lot, I eat more, sleeping
hours become longer (after taking two tablespoons of Benadryl),
Palpitation happened lesser and most time my  hearbeat is normal and
stable. I felt I have more energy and actually went out to play
basketball   yesterday.  

But my sleeping still bad, last night I slept at 11:15 pm and I woke
up suddenly near 1pm, I felt like someone pull me up, the palpitation
last about 5 mins and went away after I stood up and calm myself down.
The time when this happen there is a garbage truck "crashing" grabage
outside.  I had to take 2 tablespoons of Children's Benadryl, after
that I fell into sleeping until 8am in the morning, the time I used
to woke up everyday. This time I woke up without  palpitation. Today
I feel fine except I felt thirsty in the afternoon

I think the environment is the cause to my anxiety, because the street
outside is always noisy, people in my building slept at 3-4am and they
usually talking loudly, singing or even having a birthday party at
midnight. My uncle told me i should move to Los Angeles to live with
them, since his house is in the suburb (I live in New York City) and
it is a quiet neighborhood. I think a change is good for me.

So I want to know is it safe for me to travel on an airplane.

First of all, with a heart palpitation you should go to a general
practitioner first not a psychiatrist.  You may have a physical problem
that warrants a medical diagnosis.

If you live in a very noisy environment and it bothers you as indicated
by bad sleep, can you sleep somewhere else for a week that is quiet and
see if your symptoms improve?

I did go to the ER before that, the doctor in ER say my heart is fine,
and refer me to see a social worker, the social worker refer me to a
mental clinic, and the clinic refer me to take psychothreapy.

I have no where to go in this city except I move to Los Angeles, Since
most of my relatives are in there..
