For most of my life I have had the same issue with anhedonia, which was a breeze compared to the anxiety/panic currently. I thought to myself in the CBT class, wow, I wonder what all these people coming here for anxiety must feel.
Now I get it. So it may make sense to differentiate the use of ADs to help with acute event vs organic brain issue. As analytical as I try to be, I have no idea whether my issue is brain/heart or both. Came on after AFIB episode but thought I had it beat. Then creeped back in and now metastasized. Very difficult to decouple in post-COVID world.
I will say the anhedonia stuff is nothing compared to not knowing when you will be out and all of a sudden your HR is 150-180 bpm and you really don't know what's going on. The gym used to be my refuge; not it is like an asylum.
Got any other magic treatments, I am all ears. Given the heart/autonomic whatever I am very hesitant to start ADs. Perhaps benzos the way to go to put me out of my misery humanely 
.
Once your heart gets involved and you are prone to panic, it makes it interesting to say the least. Never had an issue with panic since early teens when hormones must have been in flux.
