... With anxiety?

I have been having a weird gambit of symptoms since early July and my primary RN and an urgent care RN both recommended behavioral health and anxiety meds. Just want to make sure that is going on.

I have had panic attacks before in the past but this feels and is manifesting different.

Edit : There are stressors in my life and I have been feeling "normal" anxiety and depression.

I don't like how they concluded the diagnosis. Could be correct but it also could be wrong. As far as I read, the differential diagnosis wasn't ruled out. And the possibility of coexisting condition with anxiety wasn't taken into account either. This isn't how they should be diagnosing anxiety. Then again, I am more careful and perfectionist with the process. I just rather detect issues early on and rule out the serious possibilities instead of wait out for serious symptoms or complications.

Get a CBC and see a gastroenterologist. You may need to adjust your diet bit. And a few life style changes. For anxiety, like someone else explained, medications shouldn't be the first course.
