I had the same thing awhile back.

I would go out at walk to try and relax, and I would almost get panic attacks. Odd. But then went to dr's, and he gave me some Xanex. Problem solved. Although I do not take it all the time like I guess you are supposed to, it helps with what he's calling social anxiety. Which is odd. I am not antisocial, but whatever. It worked all the same.

However, I also cut back from the 7 day a week, 18 hour days to 5 day, 10 hours, and that helped. Along with changing diet. Taking breaks and lunches away from the computer, or going out for lunch.

Exercise helped some too. All in all much better now.
