(I'm not the person you were replying to.).

I've had similar symptoms, and more, for the past 8 months. Heart palpitations, feeling of heaviness in the chest, strange exhaustion... I admit this does sound like anxiety. However, after suffering from anxiety for two decades, I've learned what my anxiety feels like. This is different. It's like comparing grits and runny oatmeal--I can understand why many descriptions are insufficient to distinguish between them, and even how one might be able to masquerade as the other, but having had both, it's clear they are not the same.

Is this after you had Covid? I've never been diagnosed with anxiety (though I have had pretty significant panic attacks around family) nor have I had Covid. I only started feeling these particular things since Covid became a world-wide event. Maybe it's a particular kind of anxiety caused by isolation?

So maybe I'm wrong and I haven't been experiencing anxiety when I have these symptoms. I agree it's a bit different than having a panic attack in my experience.
