I am 27 and It all began with a severe panick attack after smoking weed. I am usually a calm person but that night I had my first panick attack and it was scary. After that life was normal but very few slight panick attacks but all was good. After 2 months I suffered from neck pain for like 3 months. Got dizzy, anxious and it was a difficult time. I got a physio and During treatment I felt sick a lot and turned out I also had GERD. The doctor gave me some antidepressants and Nexium. I didn't take the antidepressent but took the nexium for 10 days but things got better. I continued diet and life was back to normal untilI was at friends and I ate a lot of high fat food, got sick and went and puked. The whole cycle returned I did all kinds of exams all the organs are good but got diagnosed with Chronic Gastrisis and Esophagitos Grade A and sliding hernia. Went to another doctor he gave the same medications. I dont feel depressed but I feel anxious sometimes because of health and constant stomach cramp. I have lost 7kgs in 6 months and I am not sure if its because of the healthy diet or the illness or anxiety. Do you think the first panick attack caused all this? or I was going to reach this stage at certain time of my life. Why are they giving me antidepressant, I am fine generally, family friends work but I just feel like stomach problems are stopping my life. My other question is, can I heal those issues without medications and just naturally. I am a bit against medications and if there are ways to heal naturally I am all for it.
Eat your fibre and deal with the triggers of anxiety.
