I don't think anxiety disorder is the cause of acute heart failure (dyspnea and basilar lung crackles), especially there is change of early hypertensive heart disease by echocardiogram. You are quite young for primary hypertension with evidence of hypertensive heart disease so secondary HTN needs to be ruled out. You should be followed by a cardiologist, don't blame for just anxiety disorder.
