Anxiety can and will make you feel horrible, especially if you are in an almost constant state of anxiety. It is also a vicious circle. Like you said you have a fear of fear. It's common to have anxiety over the sensations that happen during an anxiety or panic attack and then the symptoms cause more anxiety.

A lot of people with anxiety feel do feel anxious all of the time.  you can be having anxiety without having  a panickttack. Start to get help now for this now, not later. and when your baby is born you can discuss meds with your doctor if you woud like... Probably after nursing though? not soo sure.

A lot of people have. Your test came back clear, remember that when you are having anxiety.  I get chest pain, and feeling of weakness in arms, neck, i can go on and on.  You are healthy, remember that for your sake and your baby.
