Hello thanks for asking from HCM

You have weight of 47 kg and this is lower than average range for that age. The optimal weight as per your age and height should be around 65-70 kg. Most probably the related anxiousness over silly matter could be due to this low weight and nutrient deficiency only. Get your haemoglobin, Vitamin B12 levels checked to rule out these deficiencies.

Anxiety can be treated with proper medicines and psychological treatment. Medicines like SSRIs like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are commonly used in anxiety disorder. These medicines will help you in problem of getting tensed on silly matter. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of drugs.

I would also advise you to start doing relaxation exercises, progressive muscle relaxation exercises, breathing exercises etc. These exercises will reduce anxiety in anxiety provoking situations.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
