For both Debjay and Alba, have a read of the symptoms on this site, what you are describing are all anxiety symptoms, most us here have had them. It's all very scary, but you can learn to deal with them and eventually get them under control, but it does take time. That was the mistake I made, expecting a quick cure. I had the things you both mention, and I'm more or less sorted now, just my scary thoughts to get rid of, if I let them get out of hand, the symptoms come back, so get reading bot of you and try out some of the things suggested that will help.

PS, you should get checked by a doc to make sure there is no other cause.
