Hi there smm22. I have physical symptoms like yours. Have you had a health check recently? Maybe some of the physical symptoms aren’t caused by anxiety. I need to sit down and deep breathe and calm myself. I sweat like crazy and short of breath. Sometimes I cry. Tried meditation and can’t get into it. Hoping you feel some relief.

I recommend mediation as well if you haven’t tried it already! Headspace app is great for it. Do your best to just accept the way you are feeling, it will go away on its own. Don’t try and control it.

I have the same thing happened to me and I know it's hard to deal with. one person suggested you get a checkup which is very good that way you will know there is nothing wrong. Much of my physical symptoms manifest themselves in chest tightness. It has always been this way and add to that the fact that I had heart surgery when I was 6 years old. So I make sure there is nothing wrong, I make sure I get my diagnostic testing done to ensure this. If you know there's nothing obviously wrong it makes it easier to get through it.
