I'm currently awaiting results from a cardiologist after a really had chest pain/ palpatations episode that made me pass out. I'm really worried about the results which is making my symptoms worse, so I suspect I'm having panic attacks.

Anyway, I don't believe counselling will work for me as it's comes mainly around my menstrual cycle so don't think it will help.

I've been looking into different medications and pretty much all the ones I have found online have had bad side effects like suicidal thoughts, weight gain/ loss, nausea, tiredness, weakness and many more. I get most of those symptoms anyway with my anxiety (?) and I can't find any with minimal effects.

Does anyone have any recommendations before I ask my doctor for some medication (so they don't give me a bad one)?

Thank you
