All tests came back normal***
I tried many antipsychotics as many doctors just brushed it off as anxiety and no meds helped.

Total longshot here - I've dealt with similar symptoms (mainly the dizziness, elevated heart rate, brain fog, vertigo that isn't quite vertigo) and I recently saw an ear nose and throats doctor that specializes in dizziness. He diagnosed me with what is called a Perilymph Fistula. I haven't resolved my issue yet but I am hopeful to have the required surgery within another month or two. It has shut my life down almost completely. Anyway, more info can be found here: http://vestibular.org/perilymph-fistula
You can also search YouTube for similar info. Everyone's symptoms are slightly different, my ENT told me.
If any of that seems plausible, I would ask you to get with an ENT/dizziness specialist asap and mention the Perilymph Fistula. It's a super rare condition I've been told, so it might be a longshot. I hope it helps.
