Chronic health condition, anxiety and now panic attacks

[Ughhelp]

Help. How to manage this? A chronic health condition causes anxiety and now I have started to have panic attacks. To add to the misery of this cycle, the chronic health condition includes heart problems. Every time I try to move forward there seems to be a setback driven by anxiety.

Have you tried antidepressants ?

Thanks. I did try sertraline for 10 days and felt worse. I should give it a proper try. Can barely cope with the current side effects of meds, so am nervous to add more.

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this I know it can be terrible. I’ve found diazepam helpful
