New Anxiety getting worse

...See more So, I've never had anxiety - at least not like this. This is the kind that that sits with you daily and makes it nearly impossible to live your life. I've always been outgoing, adventurous, and hated being stuck in one place for too long. But as of August(ish) last year, I've been dealing with an anxiety that makes it nearly impossible to enjoy life. Around last August, I was traveling back and forth from work on the metro. I had been doing this 5 days a week since March. But, every once in awhile I'd get anxious on the metro, feel super nauseous and have to get off the train for a bit before getting back on. This was rare, but it would happen. Then while on vacation I was feeling sick during every portion of travel. I had good days but they were short. Fast forward to Nov - I had to become remote full time bc I couldn't get to work w/o feeling sick. Now I'm terrified to leave my apartment - even going in the hallway makes my heart race. I always get this feeling like I'm suddenly going to throw up and then I can't breathe or swallow. Recently, I think my anxiety has been giving me severe acid reflux because my throat burns after I get anxious. I'm not sure how to cope or what to do. I also have NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING! Is it my job? Is it my relationship? Is it my lack of meeting my life goals? I wish I knew! I desperately need advice. Is this normal to come out of no where? Is it more likely a medical condition?? Any help would be greatly appreciated 😭
