why don't I have an appetite. I feel nauseous

Is this a panic disorder, I had pneumonia about 2 weeks ago, and When I was in th hospital I had a Severe panic attack when they gave me the atibotics. Ever since then I been worrying about that panic attack cause my heart was at 170bpm and I got so so hot.  tue Jan 23, I got very sick because my doctor gave me another antibotic which I told her there was no infection and my lungs were clear, but she said to take it, Well this did it to me, I was having panic attacks like crazy and after a few days I felt I was going nuts,So I stopped the atibotics 3 days ago, now I am having palpitations like crazy so I went to a cardiolagist and he gave a beta blocker which I took for 3 days and stopped because It made me feel worse. I have a problem were I read side effects and then I think I have it. Well I am trying to get thoughts out of my head and I feel they are stuck. And I am getting tightness feelings in my head and tingly and my eyes sometimes are blurr and alot of jaw pain, so this makes me think all soughts of stuff. I dwell alot on my aniexty and its gotten bad. So I called my doctor and she started me on celexa, I use to be on it for about a year, but then I got married and we were trying for a baby, so I came off of it. I feel so strange and in my own world and know tommorow I am returning to work after taking off so much. I am so nervous to go back because I just started the celexa yesterday and I have to wait 2wks to see a difference.I don't want to have panic at my job but my husband and I own a house and have bills.Maybe it will help to get out and clear my mind.Help..

Dweeling on your anxiety is the WORST thing you can do. Keeping yourself distracted (through work/excercise etc)is the best way of keeping your mind off things and forgetting about the anxiety.

Hang in there.  since you have been through this before, you know that it is anxiety and you CAN DEAL WITH IT!  Take deep breaths.  Being at work will help because it will keep you occupied.  Getting out of the house is usually the best thing.  Hope you are feeling better.

Maybe you have or are, but definitely see a psychologist/psychiatrist and work on the thoughts behind the fears that drive this.  Try to think of your treatment as wholistic, and work on it from all angles...some meds to take the edge off (or no meds, if they put the edge on, and you seem to be reacting like they do put you on edge).  You can try more 'all natural' ways too.  I know I get tripped out by meat, and cholesterol, so I stay away from it, and when I do, I feel better.  I'm not saying don't take meds, because they can and do help, but shop around.  Find the right doctors and the right combination of approahes to it.  You'll get through it!!!

Hang in there, and keep the glass as half full as you can.  Get away from stressful situations, and hit this from all angles.  You can do it!
