So I've been suffering with panic attacks for a few years but over the past 8-9 months I've developed new symptoms of anxiety that I never had before. I get the usually Short of breath racing heart dizziness but lately my anxiety doesn't turn off. I have constant hot flashes sweaty palms and then have panick attacks in between with the old symptoms. My primary care started me on Celexa 20mg three weeks ago and refer s me to psych. My question is has anyone felt the constant hot flashes and sweaty palms. I'm talking first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up. I can't get out of my head and fear I have some sort of illness I've had multiple blood test over the pat few months and ER visits every doctor claims everything is normal but I feel out of body for most of the day. Very rarely to I have any relief! Is this really GAD like I'm being told? I'm turning into a hypochondriac and it's ruining my relationship with my fiancé.
