Hello, I suffered from depression and anxiety two years ago because I thought I was dying of cancer, turned out to be just long Covid. I've lost a lot of weight recently, everyone tells me due to stress, and about 4 weeks ago, I started to have panic attacks, thinking again that I had cancer. I may add the my folks died of this disease, and I'm terryfied of going down the same way. I went to the doctor asked for blood work that did no turn out greatm, but she was not concerned, and she told me it was most likely anxiety, so she got me on Escitalopram 3mg for the first 3 weeks. I had a massive panick attack that landed me in the psiquiatric ward at the hospital, and the psychiatrist on call got me on 10mg of Escitalopram (that was 2 weeks ago) and Tranxilium 5-0-5mg. I don't know if this is normal or not, but I wake up very early in the morning unable to go back to sleep. I'm terryfied of the day ahead. I usually find myself short of breath, teary eyed and irriatble, with digestive issues like heartburn and the sensasion of being hungry all the time but food disgusts me. Is this normal? Am I going nuts? Or, just like my poor mother am I dying of cancer, and no one is taking me seriously? If anyone has any insight onto what might be happening to me I would greatly appreciate it!
