Hi Angela,
I'm no expert, and I don't really suffer from anxiety attacks, but I listen to many doctors who say that it's amazing how the body reacts to your thoughts and feelings. So I'm not saying that your doctor is right but it is possible that your brain is playing tricks on you.
I have no idea of your situation or how you live your life, your life might be perfect and you might already be doing all of my suggestions, and a lot more, so the suggestions I'm making are just what I would do if I had any health issues.
If I were you I would take a step back and evaluate my life, make sure I'm only eating good, natural food.... cut back on sugar, bread, pasta, pizza, meat, dairy, all the foods that make you feel tired after eating them
Eat lots of vegetables and salads, smoothies and drink lots of water.
I would also start listening to guided meditation videos on YouTube, you can just sit, or lay somewhere quiet for 30 minutes or an hour and listen to someone talking you through it, I love it. There's a song that I listen to called Ho'oponopono, I think it's the most beautiful song in the world, try it.
Yoga, walking or any kind of exercise is really important too, even just 30 minutes per day, or whatever you can manage, will help a lot.
I would stay as far away as possible from negative people and stress, they do great damage to your health.
Simplify your life as much as possible, try not to take any drugs that you don't need, make sure you're getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to be healthy and get rid of as many toxins from your life as possible. Unfortunately that's easier said than done, they're everywhere, in our toiletries, household cleaning products, food, even in our water, it's a good idea to use a water filter if you can.
One last thing, try to think about everything you're grateful for in your life, the good feelings you get from it go a long way towards making your body healthy.
Obviously you have to listen to your body too, if you carry on feeling ill go back to your doctor, but try to forget the illness side and focus on being happy and healthy.
Any questions just ask.
Good luck,
Sharon x
