Hi Louie,
If i was your doctor I would advice you to cut down on your coffee and change your life style. This certainly looks like a generalized anxiety disorder. You can decrease this anxiety by following some simple life patterns e.g
cut down your coffee
take regular exercise e.g a 30 min walk would do
talk to someone about your stress and things that bother you at work
eat regular meals. Do not skip out on meals. Instead take small regular meals e.g 4 times a day.
drink lots of water
I hope this help decrease your anxiety
regards
Dr. Ammar
