Anxiety & Fear

Hello all,
First time for me to post something like that , However I'm Basically seeking any kind of help , or information ,
I'm a 31 years old male, About to get married , and for the past 2 years, I have been going through the worst time of my life, I started to feel little dizzy and small balance issues,
To cut the story short, Symptoms are Harder now, I have an extreme fear of Death , and Due to the Earlier Symptoms , I have had few Panic attacks,
Visited ER few times, Checks always comes back with nothing, Checked My Heart , all sort of Blood testes , all coming up with nothing,
was advised to Visit a Psychiatric .. did so , didn't get the chance to explain everything, Was offered some Meds, and I felt Ok for exactly 7 days, then everything was repeated and it was coming harder,
I have all sort of Issues, Waking up to the Question , what will be the problem today , Dizziness , Headache , Tingles, So relaxed muscles , Heart Beating Disorders , Palpitations , shooting Pain in my neck , back , shoulders , Problem Breathing , uncomfortably in the chest area all the time,
Basically , whenever I think I have an illness , I normally develop the symptoms right away
My Biggest fear now is I have a Heart condition , Knowing that this is causing severe beating Disorder ,
I have checked with 3 Doctors, all advising that my heart is Ok ,
I've googled and based on my basic fear of death . and all these looks like Anxiety Disorder
the only Problem now Is, I'm having problems living my life facing this Symptoms all the time,
its very hard to Wake up, Drive to work , when you have no power to work or even deal with people ,
Therapy is no good here ,, So I need any suggestions for things that I can do by my self, and no medications please, I hate them ,

Cairo is a huge city.  There aren't any good therapists there?  I know it's not the best part of the world for psychotherapy, but you need a guide.  I agree with your desire to avoid medication.  There are many books out there that have programs you can follow, but you still will profit from a guide just as you would in any other subject your were trying to understand better.  Perhaps you can contact someone connected with the better and more open universities there and see if someone can refer you to someone.  Good luck.

I understand that you feel the therapy is no good around where you live and that you don't want medications. However, it seems that your anxiety is really taking a toll on your ability to do your day to day activities. Medicine is not always the answer but it should not be discounted just because either. I might be wrong but it seems that the psychiatrist you went to didn't work out well for you. Picking the right doctor is very important not just to get better but to be able to confide in someone who listens.
I would suggest looking for another physiatrist and asking for a referral for a therapist so you can nab this problem in the butt.
