So sorry you feel this way and you are not silly or stupid in anyway, ok?!!! I have exactly the same symptoms and I know how frustrating it is when you go to the doctor and they literally put everything down to anxiety. Sometimes you just want some reassurance but some doctors are rubbish at it!!

I know it's really hard but the best thing to do is try and accept the physical symptoms you are experiencing and, even if they are not anxiety related, it will make it far easier to cope with. Deep breathing and distraction are great for removing your focus from your symptoms. Acceptance is key - don't fight, just float.

I felt same yesterday, but put it down to heat and lack of food, fluids..
Drink plenty of water..eat regular..
