Anxiety: I understand your discomfort. If your Physician does not see any Medical Diagnosis at this time, At age 53, let Wise Man in you ask for stresses of: • Relationships/ Marriage • Separation/Divorce • Parenting • Loneliness • Finances • Work After that consider seeing a Psychiatrist for: •Diagnosis •Therapy for stresses in your life •Breathing Relaxation •Meditation •Yoga •Guided Visual Imagery.

See different doctor: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a new doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
