Talk with someone: Anxiety usually has its basis in events that have occurred in your lifetime and this requires you seeing a psychologist you trust to help you find and deal with this. Anxiety can have a basis in medicine like hyperthyroidism. This should be checked for. Meds like beta blockers on a regular basis help to keep anxiety controlled and if severe med like Ativan (lorazepam) as needed can be used. You should see your primary doctor.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
