please help

my sister 3 weeks ago she went wrong, perhaps stress, perhaps something traumatic from excessive fear due to incidents in my country, don't know, I just need to know which kind of doctors to consult.

It all started with the pulse high 95 with feelings of heat in the head (but temperature normal) then aches in her face bones. she then felt the pulses in her whole body, neck, the back, even in the legs toes a kind of earthquake in the whole body. she consulted a general medicine and heart specialist who excluded anemia after blood test and said it's tacycardia gave have 0.25 xanax. she felt better and the pulse went down. As she felt ok, she started back to study today for her thesis, soon a relapse occurerd, heat in her brain and a new symptom appeared she can't bear loud sounds

my question what kind of specialist we should consult i.e. type of doctors. could it be excessive anxiety. Also she can't sleep unless the air cooler is on due to excessive heat in summer during the whole night and even in daytime

I would suggest a neurologist and if everything is ruled out then a psychiatrist as it sounds like panic attacks to me. However in the event that it could be something more I'd start with the neurologist.

It could very well be stress related - would be best for her to see a gp to rule out anything medical and then if all is ok health wise I would recommend a psychologist who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy because it is particularly successful in treating anxiety and helping people cope with stress. Studying for a thesis alone is a pretty big cause of stress
