Hello! If you’ve been experiencing these symptoms for a while, then you might probably want to get evaluated for an anxiety disorder by a psychiatrist or a licensed psychologist. Based on your diagnosis and symptom severity, they will make a treatment plan for you. Meanwhile, following steps might be helpful for you:
1) Relaxation and mindfulness based exercises which you can easily learn on YouTube. Your mind keep reacting to imaginary threats and therefore is always in hyper vigilant mode. These exercises will train your mind to decrease the persistent imagined threat perception.
