This is a follow up to my post from a few days ago [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anxiety/comments/ydub2z/possible_tw_anxiety_has_been_the_worst_it_ever/), but basically:  


\-almost two weeks ago, I noticed my heart was racing\* which caused me anxiety and I couldn't get it down  
\-this naturally led to loss of appetite, and anxiety over sleeping since I was in bed when the heart race increase happened  
\-I thought maybe once external stressors went away, so would my anxiety but that isn't the case  
\-the only relief I get is when I take 2.5mg of Valium.  I've been really responsible and have only taken a total of two, MAYBE three 5mg pills spread out into halves through this entire ordeal.    


My anxiety has absolutely gotten out of control.  My stomach feels constantly empty and I still have no appetite at all.  I've basically been living off of peanut butter crackers, rice cakes and jello, and the occasional bowl of chicken soup, or whatever my mom decides to put in front of me that day.  I've been doing my best to drink lots of water and apple juice, but I'm just so worried about how little I'm eating and how much weight I'm gonna lose - or have already lost - since I'm already underweight to begin with.  The "empty stomach feeling" is just a constant reminder and making me even more anxious.  I'm worried I'll never have a proper appetite again.  


I finally caved and made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow morning. I know for a fact I'm extremely vitamin deficient, as I've been confined to my house for almost three years - and I was vitamin D deficient before that.  So much so that they put me on the highest dosage for 2 months.  I then started taking that same dosage myself OTC recently, but stopped when I thought I might've been taking too much and that THAT might've been contributing to my anxiety.  Lord knows what else I'm deficient in. I'm finding a little relief in the fact that I'm FINALLY gonna be checked out tomorrow.  I know I want to find a different medication other than the valiums, but I'm also scared how long it might take for them to kick in, because I absolutely cannot deal with this for another how many weeks.  


I'm also worried something's wrong with my heart.  The thing that started this whole spiral in the first place was that feeling that I got.  I wouldn't even describe it as racing, but almost similar to how you feel when you're, ironically, scared.  I woke up with it again this morning.  It went away after 5-10 minutes, but is the most awful, uncomfortable feeling in the meantime.  


Anyway, I would love to hear from people who have went through - or are currently going through - similar situations; specifically with horrible appetites and going on new medications.  Thanks so much!!!
