Thanks for your query.  Your symptoms could be anxiety-related. Anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also. If you are having recurrent such symptoms or having difficulty managing your stress, then I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems.  Regular physical exercise, diet control and adopting a healthy lifestyle are also essential in your situation.  Wish you all the best.  Regards, Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist
