UPDATE TO : Is this really anxiety?

[Sun_Rae]

I am still experiencing anxiety symptoms such as difficult breathing, headaches and loss of appetite, with the occasional chest pain and muscle aches. I had a virtual visit with my doctor and told her that I was really struggling with my anxiety and it’s simply not going away. She prescribed me .5 mg of Clonazepam (Klonopin) and 10 mg of Paroxentine (Paxil). I’m grateful that she prescribed me medication but my anxiety now has me worried to take the medication, specifically the Klonopin. Here are my fears:

1. My breathing issues are something other than anxiety like possibly my lungs and the Klonopin will make me stop breathing.

2. I have some undiagnosed medical issue and taking the medication will kill me.

3. I will have a bad reaction to the Klonopin and it will kill me.

4. Just overall how the Klonopin will make me feel

5. I will get addicted to the Klonopin

6. I may have bad side effects from both of the drugs.

Has anyone had any experience with this drugs? Should I take them? Please help ease my mind because I have so many negative thoughts right now!

Hello i feel kinda same way. i notice that i often forgot or do not know how to breath normally? I am not sure if i should inhale or exhale through my nose or my mouth. I notice everything in my body and I easily get tired or feel weak and uncomfortable stomach. Also i have not been doing alot of exercise or activities because of my anxiety im scared of getting panic attacked so every time i walk fast,dance or do some fast movement i get scared coz i would feel nervousness coz i feel something on my chest or my hear beats fast and etc. I have my 1st panic attacked June last year was sent to ER test was all normal but result was anxiety and panic attacked. After 1st attacked i been having once a month like same time so it keeps coming back on my mind. I was given anti depressant prozac but i didnt drink it because i was scared. So been doing naturally like teas. When i was busy iv notice my anxiety was lessen but now with the lockdown and quarantine i have it almost a day.

Breathing difficulties has been an anxiety issue for me this whole time so my doctor is aware of it. I’ve been to the ER, urgent care and called 911 twice. They all checked my oxygen levels and listened to my lungs and said that everything is fine. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that all this is just my anxiety impacting me so I just keep worrying that something else is wrong with me.
