Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your symptoms are related to anxiety and depression. Anxiety disorders can manifest not only with psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also like: Tingling, numbness, hot and cold sensations, palpitation, chest heaviness, choking sensation, tremors (shakiness), dry mouth/throat and tiredness etc.

Low T3 occur in hypothyroidism. Presence of thyroid problem (like hypothyroidism) increases chances of development anxiety and depression. For long term control of anxiety following measures are helpful: relaxation exercise, medicines like SSRIs and non drug treatment like CBT and control of thyroid function. It is better to get evaluated by psychiatrist and start treatment accordingly.

Same time do some relaxation exercise like daily brisk walk, yoga and breathing exercise, which will help you in fast recovery.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
