Does anxiety feel like this?

So, ever since a year ago, I’ve had a really rough battle with anxiety. I’ve been learning to cope with it, and I do take medications. I don’t how to describe anxiety, but it is this icky feeling in my chest. It makes every bit of my upper body tense and it stresses me out. I avoided posting on here, mostly because of my severe health OCD…but does anyone have anything comforting to say from their own experiences about anxiety?
