Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

I would suggest you speak with your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing. Although these symptoms are those that others with anxiety have reported, it is important to get a medical opinion and rule out any physical conditions causing the symptoms.

If you are having panic attacks, the following articles may be helpful:
