Anxiety problems

I've been dealing with stress for 6 months. It has now evolved into something that's always bothering me like chest pain, nausea, anxiety, nightmares,sleep paralysis a few times and in the sleep or in morning when I wake up I've this rapid heartbeat. Whenever I cry or overthink I can't eat for 3-4 days. Feeling of vomiting is permanent and even a little stress or something sad leads to pain in the middle of my chest.I need a consultation about how to deal with it.

What you are experiencing appears to be severe anxiety and stress that has started expressing itself physically. When stress continues for months without adequate relief, the nervous system stays in a constant “fight-or-flight” mode. This can cause symptoms like chest pain, nausea, rapid heartbeat, appetite loss, nightmares, sleep paralysis, and a constant feeling of sickness or fear. The chest pain, vomiting sensation, and inability to eat when you are upset are very common anxiety-related physical responses. Similarly, waking up with a rapid heartbeat, nightmares are signs that your body is highly overactivated, even during rest. This does not mean something is dangerously wrong, but it does mean your system is overwhelmed and needs proper support.
Next Steps
Consult a clinical psychologist to work on anxiety regulation, stress processing, and physical symptom management. A medical check-up is advisable to rule out physical causes of chest pain and nausea, for reassurance. If anxiety is intense, persistent, or affecting eating and sleep significantly, a psychiatric consultation may help with short-term medication support alongside therapy.
Health Tips
Do not ignore chest pain — once medically cleared, anxiety management becomes easier. Eat small, frequent meals when appetite is low instead of forcing full meals. Practise slow breathing (inhale 4 seconds, exhale 6 seconds) during nausea or rapid heartbeat. Avoid caffeine and late-night screen use, as they worsen anxiety and sleep disturbances. Healing is very possible, but it requires structured support, not just self-effort.

It is completely understandable and normal to feel this way when dealing with prolonged stress and anxiety. The physical symptoms you are experiencing, like chest pain, nausea, and a rapid heartbeat, are very real and are your body's way of reacting to intense emotional distress. It can feel scary, but you are not alone, and it's a sign that your body and mind are working hard to cope with a difficult situation.      A mental health professional can help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms. They will provide you with simple, practical tools and techniques to manage your rapid heartbeat, calm the feeling of nausea, and gradually reduce the intensity of your anxiety. Counseling offers a safe space to explore the source of your stress and learn healthier coping mechanisms, empowering you to regain control over your life and feel much better, both mentally and physically.

Hi... Please consult a Cardiologist first and get through with tests for any underlying heart condition. If the tests come negative and your doctor (Cardiologist) concludes no heart ailment or condition, we can attribute these symptoms to your mental health condition. Although, body and mind works in unity and not in separation, but we need to run through tests so that we do not make a mistake of taking a heart condition as a mental health condition, as the consequence of it can be fatal. Vise-versa is not so consequential. With proper guidance and effective clinical intervention, these issues can be very well addressed and managed so that you can carry on efficiently with your daily life tasks and inter-personal relationships. Complete recovery usually requires a longer commitment and continues work in a therapeutic set-up. Search for a good Therapist/Psychologist with whom you can commit for long term.
Next Steps
Consult a Cardiologist first and conduct tests/examination for any heart ailment/condition. Consult a Psychiatrist for a Medical Diagnosis (mental health). Consult a Psychologist for Psychotherapy/Counselling. CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance & Counselling is required.
