I am a 22 year old woman. It all started a few months ago when I was under a lot of stress, I was taking a very strong antibiotic because of an inflammation of one fallopian tube. Due to the high dose, it affected my body very badly and along with the stress I started getting a palpitation accompanied by skipping. I didn't know what was happening and I went to a cardiologist, who told me that I had a healthy heart, it was just out of rhythm, it was beating faster (so-called sinus tachycardia). I drank some magnesium supplements and some herbal sedatives. One night while I was resting, this jump was repeated along with endurance, shortness of breath and hot flashes. I thought I was dying, I even called an ambulance. When they came, they told me that everything was fine, even my heart rate was completely normal then. From that day on, things started to get worse mentally, and from there I started with the physical symptoms: pain, palpitations, feeling of suffocation, fear of suffocation while sleeping, tingling, hot flushes. I went to doctors again, blood tests, cardiograms and all sorts of other things ... They tell me you have palpitations, most likely caused by anxiety. I don't smoke, I haven't licked alcohol since then, I stopped coffee, I stopped soda, I try to eat healthier. I just never thought about it before, and now I wake up and fall asleep with it, it prevents me from living normally, my Google story must be full of diseases and symptoms, and it all started from that heart. Now my head hurts, my temperature rises and I start thinking about the worst. I'm considering going to the doctor again in a month. You will say that there is no need, everything is in my head, but when I feel it physically, I go crazy. I am 22 years old and I feel 80. Every day social networks are flooded with negativity and this has just got under my skin. Tell me how to deal with this, should I seek a psychologist?

Seek a psychiatrist and he / she will decide how to proceed. You are not hypochondriac, just panic attacks. But over time, this can happen. At the moment you have to treat PA, they are your problem, don't bother.
