Agree w Dr Kondilis: You are getting to see the possible physiological effects of anxiety first hand. If you can find a quiet place - do so. Breath in slowly ; deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to. Get evaluated for anxiety. Take care.

Definitely.: You will want to consult with your general physician, if not a psychiatrist. After that, consulting with a psychologist would be in order to assess the psychological causes of your anxiety and begin developing management strategies.
