It does sound like the symptoms you have are down to anxiety. Anxiety makes us feel terrible, and the feelings are very real and very physical.
What things are worrying you at the moment?

Sorry to hear this mate.

My advice to anyone who has recently started feeling like this should go and get checked by the doctor, just to set your mind at ease that there isn't anything seriously wrong with you.

Then you can work at managing your anxiety, through support from people, CBT or medication if you feel it's necesarry to calm you down.

I agree with Dazza, I would go to your doctor, explain how you feel and ask for a full set of blood tests. Then assuming they are all clear, you can perhaps look into whether its anxiety making you feel like this.

In the earliest stages its best to get checked out with bloods and get your blood pressure monitored, get him listen to your chest etc

Dont wait for him to offer, ASK him to do the tests mentioned.
