As some one who also has anxiety issues dating back 8-9 years, I know what you're going through but we're all different so still talk to your doctor/therapist.  I no longer need medicine after learning how to keep my anxiety in check.  Different methods are; herbal teas (Like chamomile, lavender, etc.), meditation, keeping active even with small things, just be able to focus your mind, and at first I cut back on caffeine just to see if it would help, etc.  I have similar symptoms as yourself from what you've listed except I also suffer from manic depression and a form of social anxiety.

Hopefully this helped. (:
