It sounds more like anxiety to me. Your blood pressure is on the high side of normal, and I'm not sure that would cause all the symptoms you are describing.

As far as the tylenol PM, you have gained a tolerance to it and it doesn't work anymore. Do not increase the dosage or you risk liver damage from too much tylenol.

I suggest you speak to a doctor or a mental health professional about all your symptoms. You don't have to live his way, and help is out there.
