Anxiety: First you need to determine whether this is medical in nature or psychological. Consult your doctor to rule out medical issues, if cleared consult a clinical psychologist who can do a complete assessment. Also try the free anti anxiety app on your phone, learn more about anxiety at the soumdmindz.Org website. My best.
