So this all started a little more than a month ago on February 25th.. I was at the movies with my girlfriend.. Then at the end of the movie, I start to feel kinda strange... My heart starts beating fast out of nowhere and I start to feel anxious.. Then after the movie is over and we get out into the bright lights, I feel full blown panic.. I felt like I couldn't breathe, my heart was absolutely pounding, I was extremely dizzy and thought I was gonna die... I ended up going to the E.R. and when I get there they say "oh it's just anxiety, calm down and you're gonna be fine"..
Well I can honestly say I haven't been the same or felt the same ever since that day... Every day I feel nervous, tense, anxious.. I also get symptoms like constipation and a constant tickly feel in my throat which provokes a lot of dry coughing... could this be related to my anxiety? I've coughed so much the past few days because of this tickly feeling that my throat is sore. I have constant muscle aches, dizziness, extreme fatigue, constipation (the rare times when I have bowel movements, they kinda just shoot out and it's kind of watery?), heart palpitations, sweaty palms, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, etc....
Could all this really be caused by anxiety? I only went to the doc. that one time in the ER on the initial panic attack.. Sometimes I worry about it being a heart issue, but I'm only 19 years old, not obese, don't smoke, no diabetes, and no family history of heart disease. This whole constipation/tickly throat is also a pretty weird symptom that I never thought was related to anxiety too.
Anyone please help! I'm freaking out about this for more than a month now.
