I agree. I have the same problem, have had it for years. Not your fault, nothing you did or did not do. Hang in there.

I get those symptoms with anxiety sm
Maybe see about getting something for anxiety or taking a Benadryl - antihistamines are help for anxiety in OTC form (use them as a nursing student in mental health) I would also see if you could switch schedule if you want, be honest, tell them it causes you physical symptoms - they should understand
Those are definitely text book anxiety symptoms
You may want to see if you can get something for your anxiety; something that will not make you drowsy if you take it during the day. Good luck.

Do go to the doc. It is stress, most likely and that is something that is not your fault. They will be able to help you big time. I have had stress and anxiety which are situational for years. For some reason, I guess, I get myself into situations in which I have to deal with high maintenance people and jobs, and I forget about myself, until literally my smoke stack blows. My doc repeatedly says it is not me it is the situation. Yesterday again, (also a Friday) I got the crushing headache. So, since it was my day off (luckily) I took a alprazolam every few hours which the doc gives me for certain times, and buspar and the 2 helped me to see the light by the end of the day of resting. These things force you to rest. I don't believe the doc wants me to avoid situations by resting, but sometimes the pressure is too much in the situation and if you cannot change it at the time, you have to bear it. Believe me Tylenol, Ibuprofen, nothing worked on this headache.
Do check it out. It is the job, and your situation, the doc will be honest with you. And as mine said, look at the big picture not day to day. If in the big picture this situation continues you have to change it for your own sake and make things better in the big picture. If it is just now, you can live through it. Good luck to you. You are not alone. And, take it from me, it will never go away 100%, but stress management through cognitive thinking, the right medicines if you need it and exercise will do the trick.
Yes I thought it sounded nice. Just hard to change but it is time. Always a little bit of anxiety
about another company and leaving what you know and sort of starting over but sometimes it is time. You know, the fat lady sang.
