I am a person with a history of anxiety depression and eating disorder. I am currently underweight (5 foot 1, 88 lbs) but have taken my blood pressure (117/78) and heart rate normal (80 bpm). My blood sugar levels are also normal and I take multivitamins, prozac, and b12. I have been getting daily episodes of chest pain, panic, chills, numbness, discoloration of fingers/toes, and lightheadedness that can last up to 2 hours. Afterwards I feel exhausted for hours. How do I know if this is anxiety or heart failure or other issues from eating less? If it is heart related how do I fix it and is it too late?

Hello lybrate-user. For long long you are on Prazac, what is the dose. Your decreased appetite is after you started prazac? Prazac causes decreased appetite hence weight loss. Your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety rather than heart failure. Though a proper history and evaluation needed. To control your anxiety there are two options either to increase dose of prazac or to switch to a alternate drug. As prozac causing some side effects. Switching medicine can be a good option. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist online/Offline. If you need my help, I am also available.
