super scared

hi guys, let me start off by saying I’m 14, never smoke or drank, don’t have a great diet, used to play sports for years but haven’t worked out or played a sport in a few years, and am a little overweight. I have panic disorder, and depression. I was hospitalized in February after my first anxiety attack because I thought I was dying. My heart rate was high the whole four days I was there, but they said I was fine. I was hooked up to a heart monitor the whole time. I had two ekgs, blood work, and echo, and a chest X-ray while I was there, and then I visited my cardiologist the week after and had a ekg and echo and he said all was normal, but I should stop eating so bad. I didn’t take his advice, but now I’m too scared to eat anything. A couple months ago, I had a burning pain in the middle of my chest that lasted a few days, but eventually went away. It seemed to go away when I didn’t think about it but that’s how every pain is. Then after that, I started getting air hunger that lasted two weeks, wen away when I didn’t think about it, came back, went away and so on. It’s not as bad as it was at all, and goes away when I don’t think about it. I got put on Mirtazapine for the anxiety and depression, and the first day I took it I noticed it made my heart race but I didn’t say anything about it. I was on it for three months and I started Prozac today because remeron didn’t help my anxiety, only the depression. I’ve had a burning in my stomach all day. And a couple of days ago I noticed my legs were a little puffy. And then I had pain in them yesterday but it went away. I’m absolutely terrified to go to a doctor because I don’t want to be told my heart is failing or I’m dying or I need surgery😭 I don’t have any chest pains anymore, but I do have this weird feeling in my head/eyes that I can’t really describe. It kinda feels like I’m going to black out or I’m dizzy but I don’t feel dizzy. I was nauseous earlier but it went away. I also woke up in the middle of the night last night due to stomach cramps and I had really bad diarrhea. Please help me😭 I need reassurance, does this sound problematic?? I’ve had tests ran on my heart this year and all came back normal, and I visit the cardiologist every year. I go at the end of this month for my yearly check up but I’m so scared of what they’ll find 😭😭

I don't think I can help about depression, but for anxiety it's all about overthinking. Something in your head is making you focus on details too much. Tell you a story. I'm 21, my dad died about a year ago now. My head after that was messed up, he died in the middle of the night. For months I'd go to urgent care over things I absolutely panicked about. Like you, I was always told I was fine. But! I did end up diagnosed with something gastrointestinal. It's hard to accept but a good portion of it might be in your head. Look into the 3 3 3 rule. Hopefully someone else comes along with more but I just needed to tell you that you're going to be okay, okay? It might be something else than your heart, but you are going to be fine
