Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Anxiety is always a helpful defense mechanism with which the body responds to the perceived external stimulants named threat. Body perceives threat and it triggers "fight or flight" response. I suggest counseling and CBT for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
