I've never had Anxiety of any kind, or Panic Attacks. Up Until 3 weeks ago, I've been experiencing some health problems: ear infection, fluid in both ears, Upper Respiratory Infection, Heart Palpitations, High Blood Pressure, PreDiabetic, Heart Murmur, Costochondritis, ALL BRAND NEW, never had any of these before! I didn't even realize I had been stressed or anything til one Saturday night, I was just sitting on the couch at my parents, my palpitations got worse and I felt like I couldn't breathe then I felt like my throat closed up. I went to urgent care the day after, as my throat wasn't feeling any better. The Dr told me it was definitely a Panic Attack, and she prescribed me Hydroxyzine, 25mg 1-2 as needed every 8 hours, which I take when needed, they help. but since then, my anxiety has gotten worse, I had an echocardiogram and a 24 hour holter monitor, all came back good my Dr said, I believe and trust her completely. some how though, the second I get a palpitation, my anxiety comes full force, the dr had mentioned it may go away since I knew everything with my heart is fine. but it hasn't... its gotten worse if anything in the last two weeks, my question, since im just rambling... does it ever get better? or is it always there? Does it sound like I have health anxiety also? its stopping me from doing things after 7pm... that's when it seems to get its worst...
