“What is happening to me? ”
It started when me and my boyfriend did the deeds last week, November 9. We used condoms while doing the deeds. After a while, we checked if it had a hole or if the condom leaked, and it didn't.
So, 4 days had passed. November 14th, I've been worrying too much about it. Like, what if I get pregnant? I'm 19, and I know it's normal to worry about getting pregnant since I haven't finished college and I still live at my parents' house. I also don't want them to be disappointed.
As a continuation, I got to the point where I self-diagnosed. I started to trigger my anxiety, and I wasn't able to sleep that night. The next day, on November 15, I was finally able to sleep but ended up having sleep paralysis. On the same day, I started to get nervous. My heart was beating fast, I couldn't breathe normally, and I felt chills. Until I became more anxious after I experienced being bloated. There was a time that I farted and blurted out. I also found it hard to poop.
In the next two days, I experienced the same thing. On the next day, November 17, I decided to seek help to learn how to stop myself from worrying, and I guess it helped me.
But last night, I suddenly experienced heavy feelings in my head, and I feel like I'm going to lose my balance if I keep on standing. Even though I know that we use and have safe sex, I am still worried about the possibilities.

Not a delightful way to begin a new adventure! I think you were not quite ready to ‘do the deed,’ as you put it. Your detailed description of the subsequent body reactions sounds like a panic attack that kept on generating more of the same. Like if you injure one leg, then you lean on the other excessively and then it gets injured, and so on. You could use a little counseling for your excessive anxiety, and for exploring your feelings about having sex with your boyfriend. A good thing to do at your age! Also, you might acquaint yourself with the ‘morning after’ pill, which is for emergencies. Knowing about such options might also reduce your panic.

It seems that you are having panic attacks. You might need short-term medications to alleviate the condition.
You need to get a pregnancy test so you can know for sure.
