You can spend thousands of dollars having medical procedures to prove you aren't having a stroke and countless more anxiety/panic attacks worrying about this OR decide that this thought will not rule your life. Your body is just reacting the way it should in extreme circumstances. The only problem is that there are no extreme circumstances. Your brain can't see anything. So practice going through the motions and your body will start responding. It takes some time (not overnight). You will start feeling better.
Hang in there. Talk to your doctor. I have had to go back on medication - waiting for it to kick back in. The anxiety can be all-consuming and it's terrifying. You're not alone!
