Anxiety

[Country40]

I have been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for years. Lately they are happening all the time. It seems to be medical. I keep thinkong I am having a heart attack.

I've never had a panic attack so I can't relate to that. However, I'd get intense physical reactions to anxiety provoking events. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest, sweaty hands, stomach irritation. Emotionally I became easily irritable. In some sense it was medical for me because after I started taking anti-anxiety medication those symptoms massively decreased. I still get some tightness in my chest when I experience anxiety but much more manageable.

Do you see a therapist that could refer you to a psychiatrist? Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to say by you think its medical?

I have not seen a therapist yet.

Sounds like you need a good doc for advice.
