Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are related to an overreaction of the sympathetic nervous system.

Anxiety is playing an important role in all this clinical scenario too.

Anyway, there is no need for any special treatment.

I would just recommend avoiding triggering factors like cold water, alcohol, coffee, energy drinks, etc.

It is also important trying to focus on your anxiety. In this regard, regular physical activity and Yoga can be very helpful!

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,
