Anxiety or something else?

[MrCT]

I had a panick attack on June 17th. My life has not been the same. I lost almost 30lbs due to lack of apppetite. Im always feeling dizzy and at time have a difficult time breathing. I tried accupuncture, different herbs, took every blood test known to man. Sometimes I feel normal and others I feel like crap. The craziest thing is that my life is stress free. I cant put my finger on slwhat I can even be stressing about. Will this feeling ever end? Help.

Thanks. I have had almost every blood test taken. Everything came back negative. Lupus thyroid hiv etc.. A lil low in vitamin d. Cholesterol a lil elevated. Creatinin a lil elevated. I even had an endoscopy which came back normal after the dr. Said I had very bad acid reflux. Made no sense to me. Ive had a stress tess kidney ultrasound etc... I just dont think that im having panic  or anxiety. If it is, then there has got to be an underlined illness thats causing it. I have even been to  theralist who couldnt seem to figure it out. I think its time to leave Kaiser and go somewhere else.

30 pounds is a very substantial amount of weight to lose from loss of appetite. It's a lot to lose in a relatively short time even if you're TRYING to lose weight. I would bring this to the attention of your doctor sooner than later. After a REALLY complete physical that should include an in depth look at your thyroid funtion, if all the tests come back normal/negative, then it would be time to discuss the possibility of anxiety/panic. Never let a doctor label you with anxiety or panic BEFORE they do every test in the book to rule out a physical cause first.

When and if your doctor can positively rule out a physical cause for your anxiety/panic, then it's time to look into therapy for the root cause lying behind the symptoms.

You ask if this feeling will ever end. Yes, of course it will. But you have to become very proactive in your own heathcare to make that happen.
Never give up!
I wish you the best
Peace
