For the anxiety symptoms that you are feeling, it does sound like anxiety too me... heart palpatations, racing thoughts, sweating ,trembling, nervousness, upset stomach etc are all symptoms of anxiety.

My EKG tests did not come back normal for me, I have sinus arrythmia and has nothing to do with my anxiety.

There is treatment for anxiety, therapy, meds, CBT, exposure therapy etc.
The more you ignore the things or places that make you anxious the worse off you will be, never avoid them no matter how scary it is. For me anticipatory anxiety is the worse, once i'm out the door doing something then it does go away. Facing your fears is the only way to really get rid of anxiety, even though medication does help with the symptoms.

As for the OCD those could also be indications what you were saying.

Have you thought about going to a doctor to get a diagnosis if that is what you are suffering from?

Also self help books on anxiety helped me out, and there are alot of books on OCD as well.. at least that would be a start if seeing a doctor is out of the question at the moment.

One thing that you would have to watch for is reading up on something like symptoms as then thinking you have them when it might be something completely different. Becareful not to self-diagnose, alot of people have done that, a good friend of mine kept doing this, and she was diagnosed with something completely different.

I wish you the best of luck with this.... Take care.
