I (30m) have had panic attacks every spring/summer for the past 4 years. This is the first summer I haven't been with my partner since 2017 so they've been real bad.

I used to be afraid of PEs/ Blood Clots/Brain Aneurysms/Heart Attacks.... all the typical stuff. I'll get a physical symptom (most likely anxiety related) then turn it into a panic attack. Panic attacks would even wake me in my sleep a few times.

So I talked to my Dr about an SSRI. I started on 10mg of Citalopram about 12 days ago. My anxiety has shifted to hyponatremia and Serotonin Syndrome. I stopped running, started eating more sodium foods and stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol.

Tl;Dr: Someone please reassure me I won't get hyponatremia (Low blood sodium) or that the fears of the SSRIs go away.
