Anxiety

I’ve been having weird episodes where I feel like I’m kind of having deja vu, I get a rising feeling in my stomach like I’m really excited for something or really scared but about nothing in particular, and nausea, or sometimes I even feel like I might pass out. And these episodes started about a year and a half ago and have become more and more frequent, where sometimes it might even happen several times a day, but only lasting maybe 30 seconds or so.

I went to the doctor and explained my symptoms to him and initially he wanted me to have an EEG to rule out temporal lobe seizures but said anxiety and silent migraines can present with similar symptoms so he wants to rule those out first and prescribed me 300 mg of Gabapentin and 10 mg of Ritzatriptin.

But I’m not convinced it’s either or those two things.

Makes me wonder can you really have anxiety SO bad you’re having these symptoms and just how common is it? If anyone has similar experiences I’d love to hear them!
