Basically since Christmas I've had really bad health anxiety. I had to go to the ER due to a panic attack that I thought was a heart attack or some other chest problem. 

I've gotten better at calming myself down when my anxiety acts up, but I've made next to no progress at actually stopping the anxiety from popping up in the first place.

Every day has at least one or two spikes in anxiety that have started to severely impact my quality of life. I'm constantly on edge and anxious over the possibility of future anxiety spikes and health issues.

My dad was diagnosed with Diabetes during this period as well, which is hereditary and has made me feel infinitely worse than I already did.

I'm freaking out right now over some discoloration and discomfort in my mouth. I can't stop thinking it's mouth cancer or something even though I know it almost certainly isn't.

I have an appointment with my family doctor coming up, but it's still a week and a half away. It feels like an eternity until then and I have no idea how I'm going to handle it.

I just wanted to vent on this subreddit to help calm myself down. Anyone have any advice about this situation?
