My new Anxiety - Feels Physical and Chemical

...See more At the beginning of this whole quarantine, I had covid symptoms for a few weeks. Thing is, I didn't have anxiety during that period. At the end of that period I took a 5 day course of antibiotics. Next day after antibiotics, BAM, panic attack ! I didn't know what was going on so I went to the ER. They took some tests, talked to me for a bit , then sent me home with some Xanax. My physical anxiety wasn't super noticeable then. As time has passed , my physical/chemical anxiety has progressively gotten worse. My chest and stomach are constantly tight , I take a half dose of NyQuil to sleep and started Lexapro 8 days ago. Now I am going through the challenge that is starting an SSRI. It's been bad. I'm talking to doctors , therapists , friends and whoever will listen to me. It's scary and uncomfortable. I'd love kind words, advice , anything from folks in this forum who might be going through or have gone through similar. Thanks...just trying to get to functional.
