Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Twitching of eye may be part of anxiety. You had symptoms of anxiety and recently developed restlessness with pumping heart. It was also episode of anxiety attack. There is possibility of either Generalized anxiety disorder or Panic disorder. Please visit a good psychiatrist for proper evaluation.
Treatment options are -
Medicines as SSRI, SNRI, Benzodiazepines etc.
Psychological treatment as Behavior therapy, relaxation exercises etc.
Thanks and take care
