    Hi, 

    Can you contact your psych? He/She probably knows you and might calm you down on this better. 

    Is it very disturbing? I also have sth like this, i know it's scary, i just try not to pay attention and treat it as a harmless side effect. Try some soothing techniques, think about things, people, places or animals you love, so you don't trigger more anxiety. It helps me a lot. 

    All the best to you, don't worry, take good care of yourself.
