Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. am i having anxiety attacks? Possibly yes. Does happen after prolonged stress and anxiety associated with stress. But you should confirm your health by visiting a physician and undergoing the necessary checks like ECG, blood work etc. Once that angle is cleared, visit a psychologist who can determine your depth of stress and give you counseling as well as psychotherapy.


If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
