Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for asking

The symptoms like tiredness, poor sleep, dizziness, chills, pain in chest and multiple sites of body etc can occur due to anxiety or other possibility is somatisation disorder. Though detailed evaluation is needed to make diagnosis. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for expert opinion.

Medicines like SSRIs as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline etc are approved for generalised anxiety disorder. For symptoms of severe anxiety medicines like propranolol, benzodiazepine have proven role. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription.

Try progressive muscle relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation etc to keep away anxiety.

Thanks
