One more thing. Please also tell me if nicotine use by electronic cigarette could be a factor. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Not sure
Detailed Answer:
Dear
I am not sure if nicotine is a factor but I can asure you that nicotine does a lot of other damages in your body so I suggest you to stop using it!
Nicotine isn't related with anxiety disorder but at your age it can cause a lot of other problems!
Antway if you stop using caffein, try not to use electronic nicotine cigarette, drink camomile tea and you will be fine.
