Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety.
But, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend first checking thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude thyroid gland dysfunction, fasting glucose and an EEG in order to investigate for possible focal epilepsy seizures.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
