Have an exam: If you were quite physically active, this would be a fine HR. But, as you say you are not - something is not right. Don't panic but do have a full exam w/ lab work. It may be thyroid function or some other easy to address issue. Also consider some therapy to learn anxiety mgmt skills. It can really help build a stronger and more satisfying life.
