Prayer Request for Sunayana

"Please pray for my sister Sunayana she is suffering from anxiety and panic attack and feeling dizzy since last 1.5 years and no doctor can find out whats going on, she started praying to Krishna recently after I said because you know how people become when nothing good happens to them, she is really in need of Krishna as her problem is no doctor is able to find out whats going on, please pray for her from Krishna atleast Krishna will listen to you if not me or her. Atleast if doctor can find out whats going on then she can work on it from there. Thanks."

I'm sorry your sister is having trouble. Having experienced anxiety and panic attacks myself, I know it is not at all easy to live with.

May Krishna give your dear sister Sunayana comfort and strength to overcome any obstacles that may be in her path. I pray for Krishna to help her and give her the feeling of safety and to look after her. May Krishna bless her with better health and peace of mind.

In my experience, anxiety comes about when one is worried about something. It might be the lack of something, or an inability to control situations. Sometimes, it is due to how the individual's brain is wired and the chemical make up of it. If there is in fact something that your sister feels is lacking, I think this verse might be good for her to think about:

"But those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My transcendental form--to them I carry what they lack and preserve what they have." (BG 9.22)

It would be worth taking your sister to a psychologist to figure out what's causing the anxiety. If doctors have been unable to figure it out, maybe it is an emotional thing. I hope you find out what the problem is. This might be a long shot, but in my case, food allergies/intolerance caused anxiety and brain fog/loss of mental clarity.
