It's almost disappointing when they don't find anything, huh? Might sound really strange to someone without anxiety!! Have they looked into gastro issues?

Are you on meds or been to see anyone, therapy-wise? The reason I'm asking is because I have all those symptoms too. And I'm starting a med, and I'm going to see someone. I was at at the end of my rope, dealing with symptoms every day.

They started me on Wellbutrin, which is an anti-d, but works sometimes for anxiety. My first week was terrible... made my anxiety worse. But the past few days, it seems to be a bit better, so I'm hoping next week will be even better. I'm sticking it out because I don't want to go back. I can spend a month more with anxiety with a light at the end of the tunnel, or I can stop the pill and go back to anxiety every day for the foreseeable future, you know? I do have anxiety, and it is almost solely health-related. I had a consult with a cardiologist last week, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong, but scheduled me for a stress test and ultrasound, so it will put my mind at ease. But that's how worried I am, that I went to see a cardiologist... and it turns out, it's most likely "just anxiety".
