Brief Answer:
Symptoms are side effects of the drug

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

Many of your side effects are related to the drug Champion.

Withdrawal side effects arise once you stop antianxiety medications.

It may take around 12 weeks for spontaneous resolution of symptoms.

Meanwhile,I advise you to get a 2D ECHO and ECG of your heart along with an X ray chest and complete blood counts.

Further management if any is largely based on the test results.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you,
