I : I am so sorry that you are feeling so poorly. I am going to recommend that you be seen immediately because the best thing is to have a complete workup. Call your physician immediately and explain your symptoms. You should have a medical evaluation first including an ekg, and blood tests. Find out if you have ever had your thyroid functions tested as those are important and can make you feel like you have anxiety. If your doctor can't see you then go to the er and explain your symptoms so that you can be completely evaluated. This is especially important at the stage you are with your pregnancy. Please see a doctor immediately.

Anxious & pregnant: It sounds like your anxiety level is pretty high. Let your doctor know so that s/he can rule out any medical causes. How is your sleep hygiene? Have you been seeing a psychotherapist? Have you taken psychiatric medications in the past or currently.
