40 year old Male here, 41 tomorrow. Have had anxiety and panic attacks in the past. My first attack happened when I was 26, had a stressful night job that I hated, was rushed to hospital from work. After tons of test that all came back normal they told me it was stress and anxiety. Its come and gone over the years, feel like it's coming back again. Been working a job that I hate for 14 years, feeling trapped there. Panic has started again since my work has started a new operating system that doesn't work and makes the day a lot longer. Sleep is hard to come by, I wake every couple hours and have a hard time falling asleep. Been feeling clammy and heart rate is elevated more than it should while resting not crazy elevated,also a weird light vibration in my chest which isn't from my heartbeat cause that feels normal at the time of the vibration. This all started from the work changes. I'm the symptom panic guy that looks up the symptoms online which makes me panic more...lol. Anybody ever get symptoms similar to mine?

Hi Jim,
Welcome to the forum.
What you are describing seems a lot like burnout syndrome.
I would suggest maybe to take a break, a sabbatical even maybe.
You need to distance yourself from your current situation, to figure out what you really want to do.
That might help with all your symptoms.
