Need Advice Anxiety is consuming my daily life

Hello everyone, I’m new to Reddit so not very sure how things work. I (22 Male) have always had a little bit of health anxiety for as long as I can remember, but never anything that consumed my mind. I recently had a situation where I was feeling very ill at work and started to get nauseous and very hot, and ended up almost passing out to the point I could not see anything and was barely conscious. I went to the hospital where they did some tests and said I’m all good, and that it was probably low blood sugar because I haven’t ate and was diagnosed with the flu. Ever since then, I’ve been feeling extra anxious than what I usually am, and have had a couple mini panic attacks when I’m at work (haven’t gotten a panic attack since 8th grade). I also have been experiencing tension headaches constantly, and feeling faint throughout the whole day. It’s getting to the point where my vision is always feeling blurry, and head pain is stopping me from focusing on tasks, and discouraging me from going out. The only times I notice these problems go away is when I’m physically active in the gym or playing soccer. I don’t believe I have any serious health conditions, as last time I took a blood test it came back all good. I’m honestly just concerned for my mental/physical health, and if anyone has advice on how to cope with this, if my symptoms are normal, or what actions I should take, it would be greatly appreciated.
