no, my doctor doesn't want to give me referrals <even when other said to me wtf she should to>, so I don't know if something is wrong with my body, or if i'm overreacting.. i know only that i have diagnosed depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ocd, heavy anemia, psoriasis, high cholesterol even if i'm very underweight, and probably underactive thyroid... I know I sound like paranoid ._. my father scared me since i was a kid with talking about many illness, he still does and even says to me sometimes 'you'll die' etc... so I got very sensitive about health...
I lay down for like 10 min and felt bit better, now heavy and weak again, have problems with breathing eh ._.

I'm so sorry someone filled you with fears. Parents.... no comment.
I know how bad intense anxiety feels although in my case it wasn't illness based anxiety. Extreme anxiety is torture. Nobody who hasn't felt it could possibly understand and for me personally, talking didn't help much. The anxiety is your main problem though. The physical problems you mentioned are minor. I have coping and relaxation techniques but to me, once you reach a tipping point in anxiety nothing is going to help as much and as quickly as an anti-anxiety med.
