you may have vitamin deficiency.

Get blood tests:

Vitamin B12 levels:
serum B12
HotoTC levels
MMA
Homocystein.

Vitamin D3 level:
(D3 level more important than D2)
The only blood test that can diagnose vitamin D deficiency is a 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25 OH vitamin D). Unfortunately, some doctors are still ordering the wrong test, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D.

Magnesium level:
have your Doctor do a Magnesium RBC test. It's not a standard test doctors run, but the only accurate blood test for magnesium. Magnesium serrum which most doctors run is not accurate.



B12 levels below 200 are extremely deficient and many doctors feel the actual level of deficiency should be at 400. Most people have levels between 800-1,000

vitamin D level should be above 50ng/mL

Vitamin D and magnesium deficiency symptoms:
Anxiety, depression, headaches, body pain, brain fog, Constipation, Muscle Cramps, Insomnia, Heart Palpitations, etc


Vitamin B12 is present in, used by and necessary for the proper functioning of every single cell in the human body. Some B12 deficiency symptoms are
Anemia
Fatigue, sometimes severe
Feeling of heaviness in arms, legs and head
Muscle weakness
Depression and despondency
Easy bruising
Sleep disturbances and insomnia
Hormonal imbalances
Diarrhea, constipation or other digestive woes such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and/or bloating
Red, swollen tongue
Bleeding gums
Pale skin
“Brain fog,” problems concentrating, memory loss
Shortness of breath on even mild exertion
Numbness or tingling in extremities (neuropathy in severe cases)
Headaches and migraines
Ataxia (lack of balance, may affect gait)
Dizziness and lightheadedness
Irritability and extreme mood swings
Tachycardia, skipped heart beats, irregular heart rhythm
Eye twitches and tics
Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, infertility
Decrease or disappearance of normal reflex responses
Some people report pain in their ring finger and palm


Where ever you live Vitamin D3 MUST be taken DAILY to obtain the best result. In the form cholecalciferol it has a half life of 19-25hrs and in this form there are cells throughout the body that can covert it to the storage form and/or the active hormonal form just when and where it is required.

We should only be using D3. Ideally daily supplementation is better than weekly and there is no reason why people shouldn't ANTICIPATE that as 25(OH)D rises initially their calcium absorption will increase and expose the fact they are magnesium deficient.  
We need to be reducing calcium, (because only really ignorant doctors know that correcting vitamin D status enables higher calcium absorption which needs magnesium to counterbalance the calcium. So taking extra magnesium spread through the day in small amounts WHILE you are taking your DAILY vitamin D3 will be fine.

Yes, many people with anxiety issues have symptoms like numbness, chest pain, loss of appetite, heart racing. They are common, but can be controlled by taking medicines and therapy.
You should probably need more counselling for better feel.

Anxiety can cause all kinds of physical symptoms, such as all of the ones you describe. As you point out, we anxious types have a hard time believing those symptoms and sensations are caused by anxiety. Instead, we're more likely to believe we're having a heart attack, stroke, have cancer, a neurological disorder, etc. The best thing you can do is first accept the fact that your symptoms are caused by anxiety and only anxiety. Then, instead of hyper-focusing on your symptoms and sensations, ignore them. Get angry at your anxiety and say "Go ahead, if you're going to kill me or make something else terrible happen, do it already. I'm tired of playing this game." Call anxiety's bluff. You'll soon discover anxiety is a poser and can't hurt you. It's time that anxiety stopped running your life by dictating what you can and can't do, and threatening you if you dare to ignore it. You deserve a life free from anxiety. Start NOW.
