Hi and welcome! I’m so glad that you brought this up! So many are afraid (and rightly so) of being labelled with a psychosomatic illness if they discuss this. I experienced this when my inflammation skyrocketed (video is called “MCAS card” on the front page of the forum). I couldn’t even look at an ipad if there was a photo of someone on a high ledge! As I got the inflammation under control, it went away (it took many months — ugh). If inflammation is at the heart of your anxiety, sometimes reducing the resulting oxidation with N-acetyl cysteine can be hugely helpful (it was for me — I even kept it by my bed and took it if I woke up in the middle of the night).
