    I have the same issue, health anxiety, and anything can trigger an anxiety flare up for me. I have just started sertraline 10 days ago and get horrible side effects and my mind still wonders if it's just side effects or something more sinister.

    What I can suggest you is mindful meditation (download apps from play store), spend time outdoor, exercise, and perhaps go back on your meds. I know how bad this anxiety is and really hope you'll feel better soon.
