No wrong to check: It's not wrong to check into all the likely medical conditions that might cause your discomfort, so keep trying. But also think about the probabilities too. At your age, some things are quite unlikely and anxiety is not one of them. Work with your therapist in addition to the medication or get a talk therapist too. Even if you have a vascular condition, it will help you to get anxiety controlled.
