Feeling Anxious And Short Tempered. Having Atrial Fib. What Could Be Done?

I have been feeling very anxious and short tempered lately. I just started a new job and have gotten behind in my bills and I know thats not helping. Should I lay off coffee and other caffeine drinks that may be adding to my anxiety and what other ways are there to cope with it. I also have atrial fib and the anxiety isn,t helping that either.. Thank you

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Anxiety and stress and restlessness are everyday affair for almost everyone in this new changed world. You should not feel much about those conditions because worrying again can increase anxiety level. Two coffees per day is permitted. You should exercise rigorously, drink sufficient amount of water, eat moderately and avoid acidity producing things, moderate or minimize meat products and over and above do breathing exercise for 15 minutes twice daily and try to be happy. If needed consult a psychologist for further advice. I can help you if you desire so.
