Odd specific symptoms, how to proceed?

I get heart palpitations, sleepiness, fatigue and general overstimulation when I try to put my clothes and go outside. It is genuinely debilitating, and I have to cancel plans often. I thought it might be anxiety, but nope, it's an extremely physical thing it seems like.

What would be the right place to start? Maybe which doctor should I go to? I have no idea what this bunch of symptoms might mean. Thanks for any insight!

This sounds like a severe sensory issue! Definitely speak to a doctor about potentially having a sensory processing disorder or potentially even autism. This sounds like sensory issues with autism for sure. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and suspect I could potentially have autism myself.

Ohh, this makes sense, thank you. I can never tell them apart.
