When I was nineteen I too had anxiety. It went into panic attacks, which if you have ever had one, you think you are having a heart attack. I also think it had a thing or two with my high readings of blood pressure. Since I was in the best shape of my life playing College football at the time and was not overweight. I also started drinking as a relief of the symptoms, which you know is not in a healthy lifestyle. If I were you, don't torcher yourself. Get help from a professional, there is alot of things they can do with therapy and if needed drug therapy. Trust me, just waiting will cause you alot of pain and anxiety. Good Luck!!!

Talk to your doctor for some medication that you could take occassionally as needed. Xanax works really good.
