+1 for SC's advice. I go for walks and try to burn it off. Focus on deep breathing and realize it is just from caffeine....
Week has been busy. Feeling pretty good....
I have been using combat breathing technique. Inhale for 4. Hold for 4. Exhale for 4. Making sure to deep breathe. Meaning my stomach moves and not just breathe from the chest...
I understand how you feel completely. Stay away from google and use the self-help links referenced by SC. Health anxiety like all anxiety/panic issues sucks....
