Please get checked: By your doc to rule out possible physical causes for your symptoms. Then you can see a psychologist. You may be the type of person who manifests his/her anxiety/depression in bodily symptoms, like guitar strings that vibrate to strumming. There are effective treatments for this. Peace and good health.
