Ever since my mom passed away in September of heart disease all I do is obsess about death. I have visuals of her and how she suffered on her last few days. Ironically enough right after she passed is when I started suffering from chest pains. I've been checked out and I've been told by two doctors that it is anxiety related. I'm still planning to go for a third opinion before I convince myself that I don't have heart disease but I go have anxiety. I find that anxiety hits me the hardest Shen I'm driving home from work, shower or in bed. I fight my thoughts by shaking my head and trying to replace a bad thought with a good one. Exercise helps me too.

You could consider going to see someone. Often times it helps.

I think you should try to stop sleeping during the day. A half hour nap is supposed to revitalise us but you sound like you're taking more than that... which is obviously going to affect your night sleep.

A bad nights kip and the shitty feeling the next day is a recipe for anxious disaster. Seriously.
Anxiety LOVES a run-down body & mind. It thrives on it.

Your (hideous) sleeping pattern could be the cause of most of your problems.

Interesting you say your anxiety hits when driving home, shower or bed.
This is quite common amongst anxious folk.

The driving home is most likely because either a/ you live alone and fear being alone or b/ your home life is hectic / unhappy.
I suffered panic in the shower but I never worked out why. I could feel myself getting anxious leading up to the shower.
Perhaps it's the feeling of being trapped? or that a shower signified going to work... and work causes stress. Who knows... it's common anyway.
Bed - well, it's the perfect time to think and worry.
