Hi, I am sorry you are having a hard time.
In my experience, extreme anxiety can cause just about any combination of symptoms in the book. I also am surprised that your shrink didn't know this. Maybe time to find one more knowledgable about anxiety/panic problems.
Hopefully the meds you are on now will help, but if not all the more reason to find a good doc.
In the meantime, I will suggest some stuff that helps me. Try to get out of the house for at least a short walk - 20 to 30 minutes a day. If you don't want to do this in the day time, the very early morning or at dusk are generally quieter times with fewer people around. I suggest this because exercise helps a lot by producing endorphins(spelling?) and it will help to counteract the tendency to hole up in the house. Good luck.
