Hi Lybrate user. I do understand your concern. The medicines you are on are good ones and it takes time to give desired results [you have not mentioned sicnce when you started the medicines]. Moreover, you may benefit psychotherapy like cbt, along with meds, from a qualified psychologist/counselor. Lybrate is here to fetch one.

You could be having a breathing problem: some kind o f restrictions in your diaphragmatic connection. You could also have a problem of fitness if you have not been exercising. Please attend some yoga classes, practice diaphragmatic breathing techniques and definitely do some aerobic exercises daily. I also suggest that you do some counseling to deal with the fear that is underlying your anxiety. Anxiety is abnormal fear because you are not dealing with your normal scare efficiently. When tests come negative, there is definitely emotional problems that need to be addressed. These feelings may have origins in childhood and so your parents may be useful in meeting with the counselor.
