I'm a 25 yr old male who is mildly overweight as the NHS site tells me, after coming off my many years-long binging of alcohol to treat my anxiety about 8 weeks ago, I got hit with a tidal wave of Anxiety. Social anxiety and the worst one, Health anxiety. I have had a lifelong anxiety issue that is resistant to medication and causes a lot of other stuff like depression. OCD and stress.

The issue with my particular anxiety is that I don't necessarily need to be thinking about anything or doing anything for it to affect me. So relaxing watching a normal video/music or doing artwork is a struggle because these feelings are automatic, they come on the same way every day, sometimes gradual and or sudden. i only get 5 minutes of REAL peace when waking up. its like the anxiety process hasn't been activated yet.

It has given me suspected heart issues like tachycardia, palpitations/ectopics \[possibly as the doctors point to\]

High blood pressure is also a common thing now I test at home. I sit in the right position and relax, I get readings anywhere from 130 to 145 on systolic which is always above 120, it has never dropped to 120 and has never gone below it. My diastolic is mostly normal between 70 to 85, 

&amp;#x200B;

I can feel the negative effects of it being elevated, or I can feel the effects of anxiety regardless if I'm thinking or not. This means the **PHYSICAL** feelings of what I'm experiencing act as a trigger. it cannot be ignored because it's physical. like pain, you know its there. 

**the tightness in your chest, the fast heart. the fatigue, vertigo/dizziness, blurred vision caused by unexplained retinal pigmentation changes, the constant mild headaches or pressure in the head.**

 I assume this is a physiological reaction to my anxiety this also triggers off my health anxiety because feeling these constantly all at once every day makes me Believe there is another issue causing it other than anxiety. 

but here's the real question

&amp;#x200B;

My anxiety is therapy and medication resistant. i have been battling it for about 10 years nothing has truly worked this is why I turned to alcohol for many of those years. But if anxiety has become physical to the point where it causes absolute stress to cause these physical symptoms. does this mean my blood cortisol will constantly be high because god knows it gives me stress, my hair falls out and these two things come hand in hand together so i can't relieve my stress without relieving my anxiety, but as i said. my anxiety is resistant to all known methods, the doctors are aware of this. and if its high, it would explain many of the issues im having with other stuff. But if i can't overcome this anxiety then the elevated/high blood pressure and all the things i listed above will be constant and have potentially serious outcomes later down the line? 

&amp;#x200B;

The doctor has pretty much given up on checking on any symptoms I report and over the phone tells me it's just Anxiety. I cant get checkups there because they are "always busy"

this is why I'm here.
