Welcome to Health care Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

You see anxiety itself is an ailment which presents as shaking legs ,sweaty palms, stomach pain, chest pain and even increased heart rate and palpitations.

I would suggest you not to be so anxious.

Try to consciously breathe in and out for 5 minutes a day. This is just a relaxation technique that will help you .

Get your blood pressure checked .

Continue with the medications.

Get an electrocardiogram done to rule out any cardiac pathology.

I would suggest you to report to a clinician if you have symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, palpitation or breathlessness. Your doctor will be able to correlate clinically.
Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
