Depends: Whether it goes away depends on what is causing it. See a doctor and exclude physical abnormalities like hyperthyroidism, other endocrinopathies, etc. If these all negative see a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and get this worked out.

Anxiety: Anxiety and panic disorders can affect sleep and circulation but there are other possible causes as well. It sounds like you feel quite uncomfortable and are ready for change. Reach out to your primary care doctor to have these difficulties evaluated soon. Whatever the cause, your doc can help you move toward a solution quickly.
