Scared, and don't know why

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

About a month and a half ago I went to the ER with very high blood pressure (178/100) and confusion. They treated me for a stroke to rule that out and did a CT scan, xrays, blood work, etc. Thank God all of this came back clear/fine, but ever since then I have had what feels like a sinus infection (first tried amoxicillin now on doxycycline) that gives me a headache every day.

I dont know what happened to me, but after that ER visit I have been so emotional and scared every day. Sometimes Im not even sure what I am scared about. Every morning when I wake up I want to cry. It eventually gets better throughout the day, but I have no energy and I am scared of life. Its really starting to effect my life and I hate it.

Has anyone else ever felt like this after an ER visit or something else? I used to be so confident and now I just want someone to hug me and tell me its ok all the time.

yes, I had one of my worst anxiety attacks after having appendicitis. I was afraid of everything. I was sure I would get DTV or stop breathing. The thing is, I just didn’t like being out of control. I went back on anxiety medication and sought out help. It did get better. I still have anxiety and it sometimes affects my ability to function but I have so many more tools now and it does get better faster.
