Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Given your age, it is unlikely that an organic cause is responsible for your symptoms. An organic cause means that there is a disease/disorder in some specific organ system.
In all probability, your symptoms would be attributable to simply anxiety. Anxiety can produce a myriad of symptoms in people with different people having different symptoms.
I am sure all this will resolve over as we help you overcome your aanxiety.
I encourage you to do a few things:
1) Focus on getting atleast 8 hours of sleep each night.
2) Eat a well balanced diet.
3) Exercise daily - extremely important in anxiety management.
4) Consider meditation exercises.
5) Surround yourself with supportive friends and family.
6) XXXXXXX breathing exercises and yoga also help tremendously.
Please do the above for atleast 1-2 weeks. If your symptoms do not resolve, please see a physician so that some anti-anxiety drugs can be prescribed.
I hope I have addressed your concerns. I will be available for follow up queries.
Regards!
