Some of this could definitely be withdrawl. But there is a good chance you have incurred some minor cardiovascular damage due to the excessive amounts of stimulation and dopamine being dumped into your body.

You likely need to see a cardiovascular specialist immediately and find an addiction recovery group.

Here is a good article on nutrition to help with recovery:

IF YOUR BODY TOLERATED THAT MUCH STIMULATION AND YOU DID NOT FIND IT TO BE TOO MUCH.

IT IS HIGHLY INDICATIVE OF A NEUROLOGICAL ISSUE SUCH AS
ADD / ADHD

DUE TO THE ABILITY TO TOLERATE THAT MUCH PLEASURE WITHOUT FEELING OVERLOADED.

Most people's body would have a hard time with that much stimulation.
It was likely that you were self-medicating to an excessive amount.

It seems to me like there is an aspect of something such as ADD mixed with an obsessive and addictive personality. Especially if these habits did not occur until after your GF left. Make sure she is aware of these issues and that you are taking this seriously and will seek help. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL LIKELY HAVE PROBLEMS AND RELAPSE. Plus a lack of transparency is a great way to destroy a relationship.


Personally I would ask around in your area for a good psychologist and primary care physician (ideally a functional medicine doctor). Then tell them all of these things and ASK to see a cardiologist.

THINGS YOU WANT TO ASK FOR / HOPE THEY TEST FOR:

Studies / Tests:

• Several EKGs
  
• Cardio Stress Test
  
• Sleep Study
  
  Labs Work:
  
  
• 24hr Urinary Cortisol (basically you pee in a bottle all day and give it to them to test)
  
• CMP-14
  
• CBC w/ Differential
  
• Insulin
  
• A1c
  
• Prolactin
  
• Zinc

  Purely psychological anxiety doesn't make 100% sense. While that could be part of it, there has to be some other aspects at play. Anxiety is likely secondary to other issues such as cardiovascular injury.
  
  
  NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU pure psychological anxiety of no other origin would not cause the night time / sleeping issue where you wake up with a racing heart rate.
  
  
  
  
  Things you can do / take to help (from the Psychology Today article and my own research):
  
  
• Gatorade (water is a poor hydration as it can not easily cross the cell membrane in your stomach, salt, sugar, and minerals help it cross)
  
• Taurine (1g 3-6 times per day) - NOW Foods
  
  • Binds to harmful particles in your blood and adds phosphorus to it so you can pee it out
    
• Glucuronolactone (1/8 TSP added to a drink if Gatorade)
  
  • https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B5BV560
    
  • Binds to excessive minerals or harmful substances to you can pee and poop them out. (if you have a high dose like 1 tablespoon you will likely be running to the bathroom several times a day)
    
• Vitamin A - whatever is in a good multivitamin
  
• Vitamin C - 100-200mg / day (or 2 oranges a day)
  
  • may want to superload 500mg 2-3x/day before a meal for 3-4days
    
  • Doctor's Best, Nature's Bounty, Nature's Way, or Twinlab
    
• CoQ10 - (200mg / day - with food)

  • non-stimulatory energy promotor
    
  • Double Wood, Pure Encapsulations
    
    If you have questions on ANY of these look them up on examine.com
    
    IF NO brand is listed above try something from one of these manufacturers:
    
    
• Thorne
  
  • (top of the line but most expensive - these are commonly used in clinical trials by colleges and universities)
    
• Pure Encapsulations
  
• Nature's Bounty
  
• Solgar
  
• NOW Foods
  
• Double Wood
  
• Doctor's Best
  
• Puritan's Pride
  
• Samson
  
  DO NOT BUY vitamins or supplements from any other manufacturer because they often only have 20-50% of the labeled dose or the type of supplement or vitamins maybe is not well absorbed. There may be other manufacturers that I did not list that are good, but I didn't have time to list them all.
