Summary
In June 2017, the user wrote that doctors had focused on their fever, did a blood test to rule out dengue and sent them home with paracetamols. They had had several blood tests showing no anemia, low blood sugar or thyroid issues, and a good ECG, so a doctor attributed their symptoms to anxiety and offered Lexapro; they tried it but it only made things worse. They were now coping without any medication but still wanted help.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
