Brief Answer:
Relaxation exercises.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

I agree with the opinion of your doctor that it could be due to anxiety.
Anxiety may or may be always present for such symptoms to appear.

Once developed due to anxiety, such symptoms can persist even when there is no anxiety for the time being.

I would suggest you to practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.
This will help you to get rid of this weird feeling.

All the best.
Regards.
