hi james
Yes, those of us who have health anxiety have loads of physical symptoms, I have the same as you (amongst many many others).
I was recommended to get a general check-up and if all is ok then really get help for your anxiety, you are young. I am almost double your age and have wasted more than 30 years, time I can never get back. So I really urge to get some form of help asap.
Good luck x

As sasical72 said, anxiety itself can cause various physical symptoms, one of the most well-known being chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath.
I also think you should have a checkup with a general practitioner along with psychological counseling.
Therapy really helps a lot!
