Brief Answer:
You have high blood sugar
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
Your blood glucose levels are high. It suggests that you may be having diabetes. You need to restrict your sugar in take in diet and exercise regularly. Also take cleaner drinking water (avoid mineral water). High sugar levels are known to cause irritability and restlessness. The control of blood sugar levels will reduce the anxiety-type feeling. Some physicians start the medicines as soon as high blood sugar is seen. You should also regularly check blood sugar levels at home. This will assist you in modifying your diet accordingly.
Vitamin D levels are also low and sometimes can cause anxiety like symptoms. Take supplements for vit D like calcirol granules weekly for 1 month and then biweekly for next 2 months.
Recheck fasting blood sugar everyday until it is controlled and vit D levels after 3 months. Also check your blood pressure.
Hope it helps.

Brief Answer:
Yes sugar substitutes should be less
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Now I see your details.
Sugar free substitutes can be taken but better to take it occasionally. These can have some side effects.
Alternate way to decrease the anxiety is to do breathing exercises (called as XXXXXXX in yoga) regularly. These help regularize the abnormal breathing associated with anxiety.
Controlling diabetes and blood pressure will also help reduce the anxiety.
If it is affecting your routine life then a psychiatrist may be consulted.
