View allI'm wondering if it's okay for me to have a baby while I'm taking Daxid 100mg tablets. I've been using them for about 6 years now for anxiety and panic attacks, and I really want to know if it's safe during pregnancy. Could you please share your insight on this?

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?
Cardiophobia, also known as anxiety about having heart problems, is a psychological condition where a person has an excessive fear of heart-related issues despite medical reassurance. This fear and anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. It is important to understand that Cardiophobia itself does not cause heart attacks or any heart issues. The symptoms experienced are usually due to anxiety and not an underlying heart problem. To help manage your Cardiophobia, it is recommended to seek therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or relaxation techniques. In some cases, medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be prescribed to help with anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing anxiety related to Cardiophobia. If you are experiencing severe anxiety symptoms or if your symptoms are significantly impacting your daily life, I recommend consulting with a mental health professional for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm trying to understand the meds I'm taking. My doctor first gave me Etilaam Pro 20 for my anxiety for about 20 days, and when I went back after 15 days, he switched me to Recita Forte for 10 days. Are these two medicines basically the same and used for the same purpose?
