Learning stress management and relaxation skills from a life coach/therapist can help without drugs. During your training you may uncover any sub-conscious trigger & work on resolving its impact. If meds are needed your therapist can work with your doc.

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. 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!
