change of career triggered my first anxiety attack now I have anxiety 24/7.

It all started back in September when I was making a career move. I was at a friends house all of I started to feel funny. My chest started to feel really tight and all I wanted to do was get out of there. The rest of the night my chest was hurting and I went to the doctors the next day had a chest x ray, EKG, blood work and everything came back fine and he told me it was stress or anxiety. I never had anxiety in my whole life so I was kinda in shock when he told me. I felt better that I was healthy went back to normal until mid November when my Uncle passed away from Arota burst. All of sudden I felt like I was gonna die. I felt like I was going to have an aneurysm. I had a constant head ache. I kept checking my pupils. I felt it 24/7 for about a week. I kept researching it on the internet and it only made it worse. I was at work I thought I'd I go to the ER I'll feel better like I did when I went for my heart. So I left work went to the ER. Had blood work done and a CatScan and no problems. Doctor sent me home. But the systems didn't go away. After awhile the head aches stopped. Now I live in constant fear. Every ache or pain I think is the end. I avoid going places because I'm afraid of having an anxiety attack. Now for the first time my right cheek has been feeling like its dropping but when I check if it's not. I look in the mirror and it's fine and I can move my face normally. That triggered my chest to get tight and it's been tight for about 12 hours now. I know it's anxiety but I can't seem to shake the physical symptoms when they happen they last forever. I'm 22 male in general good health. I don't work out now but I was an athlete my whole life so still in okay shape for now. Does anyone know how to beat this? It's affecting my work life, sex life, and my life. I feel like I'm alone and will never get over this. I really just want to get back to being me again. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to stop the physical symptoms when they start to happen?

I worry about my health and yes it can be anxiety provoking
i have suffered from anxieties and panic attacks myself and worring will not help it. Have you ever thought about talking to a therapist about how you feel. You may need medication to help the anxieties lessen
Try not to worry so much you are in good health. When you find your worrying or thinking about your health distract yourself and do something like play a game go for a walk listen to music distract your thoughts
Also do not look at anything on the internet that causes more worry and that what i have done also the internet is not good because they say things and it may not be you
Back away from doing that that what i am doing is backing away from looking things up on the internet and do some relaxation
