I have been having what doctors call palpitations every day

Few people do not have anxiety or stress. I personally do not believe in meds for this or depression . I believe in dealing with the issues. Learn to cope or change jobs. Get counseling for a horrible husband or wife.
It is like the ad where someone goes to doc because depressed although taking meds. In the ad, the doc says sometimes one is not enough, so gives her another prescription. Then at the bottom it says, call your doctor if you feel like committing suicide!!!

If you read my post I asked about do you have an exercise you like a hobby? Every doctor I see agress with me on my commitment to exercise and hobbies to lower stress and anxiety. I do this religously
All individuals are different. Some need more help than others to deal with stress and anxiety. In my opinion it depends on the severvity of the anxiety panic levels. Some like me when I developed PTSD and anxiety/panic disorder was devastating on my quality of life. When you have PTSD you basically are scared and than of course causes anxiety/panic.
For those of us that have had a panic attack you will see sometimes you need help. But that help should come from medical profesinals and physciatric professionals. I am luck to have to be at Mayo where all my doctors and physicatric medication specailist work as a team.
With consuling, medications, and self initiative I was able to overcome my PTSD anxiety panic disorder and come off 2 medications. I am a avid believer in having an exercise and or hobby to help you with daily stress and anxiety. But sometimes getting to that point you need help and thus should always reach out. Mental health is just as important as physical health.
