Anxiety problems I have had

My name is Aaron I am 30 years old. Before the pandemic I was really stressed I even got a bald spot in my head due to this. Then all the pandemic started and made me feel anxious and insecure, I had the pressure of making sure my family didn't get sick and of course I had like psichological covid several times. Like 2-3 months ago I had a pain in My back near the shoulder blade, googled my symptoms and obviously it was like the worse case scenario, my hands started feeling numb, heart beat going a thousand miles an hour had to go to the ER ( I don't know if this was a panic attack never had one before). Nothing wrong, went to a physiotherapist, several times pain wasn't healing had blood tests and had high cholesterol levels due to my dad having the same problem, my anxiety started getting worse all day 100% of the time thinking I was gonna day or imagining the worst case scenarios. Had to go on a strict diet, I loved eating food and have always been in good shape, but now I dont enjoy eating the way I used to. Took cholesterol pills and then started feeling a pain in my left leg, had to suspend the medicine, there were days where I wanted to cry and couldnt still all day thinking the worst. Went to an orthopedist, some scoliosis but know all I could think was what if I had always had this pain but never noticed, I have become so aware of my body that now I notice some trembles when I bend my legs and arms, funny thing is that when I am not thinking about the pains I feel, I barely even notice I have them. I got several other panic attacks, last one this weekend, I started crying out of nowhere. I talked to a psychiatrist and got prescribed lexapro, this is my 2 day taking it buy I just hope I feel better.
