I'm really worried because ever since I started taking doxycycline, I've been experiencing panic attacks and anxiety. Is this a known side effect of the medication? Could the doxycycline be causing these issues?

I'm really struggling with this Cardiophobia anxiety disorder I've been dealing with since last year after the whole COVID situation. I got all the tests done back then ECG, TMT, and echo and they were normal according to my cardiologist. But I can't shake off the constant anxiety about my heart, and it's affecting my daily life. I need to know if having Cardiophobia can actually lead to a heart attack or any heart problems, or is it really just my fear playing tricks on me?
