    Hi there.  I understand.  I have had terrible anxiety regarding my health.  I htought I had every kind of cancer...just awful.  Could not eat, sleep and had palpitationswhich I thought was an impending heart attack!!  I am now on HRT and this has really helped.  I also have beta blockers if I need them.  Have you been to yur Docs...they maybe able to help you.  Take care.XX

      My anxieties are due to my health too. I take paxil, ativan for anxieties, two blood pressure meds losartan and amlodipine, also on thyroid pill for hypothyroidism, take metformin for diabetes, and vitamin d3 and a multivitamin and pepcid for acid reflux 

      Was on a low dose of estrdiol and provera but i started bleeding so i stopped them 

      Gave me side effects too
