Yes, this can be scary with all the nutty symptoms. Please find JayNeeJay's posting about a month ago of the 66 symptoms of this wild adventure we are on, in various stages here. It will help calm you done a bit. Yes, many of us know how you feel. There are different things you can do to feel better, but please, know that you are not alone and start by finding her list, read through it, along with some other old posts that may give you some great ideas on how to better help yourself and what your doctor may be able to do for you!
For me honestly, when I am really anxious, sometimes a good cry helps release some of the wild feelings, sometimes getting out and doing a brisk walk helps (although hard to motivate during extreme time when we need it the most) to release the anxiety a great deal, relaxation mp3s work for me, very soothing voice. Others can give you ideas, but believe me, you have come to the right place!
We will all get through this, eventually!
Big hugs to you Lorraine!

I started having odd feelings about 2 years ago but they really hit hard last year, I went through the pains everywhere, panic attacks, anxiety, chest pains, I even ended up at A&E three times with chest pains thinking it was heart attack only to be told everything was fine and it was panic attack/hormones.
I eventually went to see HRT specialist at my local doctors and tried it for 3 weeks it made my boobs so sore that I came back off it.
I've tried quite a few different natural remedies and I'm now using Wellsprings Serenity cream which seems to be working ok for me, Kalms to keep me being not so anxious, propranolol from the doc for the heart palpitations.
I also take a variety of vitamins... B6, q10 enzyme, cod liver oil, fish oil, oil of evening primrose.
I still have the odd bad days but I've gone down the healthy eating road, I bought a Nutribullet and have 1 green smoothie a day and I feel like if I eat junk food I feel worse.
I've just lost my 1st stone in 3 weeks and I feel like I'm starting to finally starting to take back control of my body..
It's just whatever you find works for you because there's none of us built the same.
Hope I've been some help, you're not dying (although sometimes you feel you are) good luck to you hun and keep looking through the forum for answers 💋
