Am i physical body?

Your physical body counts as one of the five aggregates (skandha-rupa). As such it's considered impermanent, a source for craving/clinging, and therefore problematic to be identified with.

Buddha said people take at least one of the five aggregate as self. Which is called the five clinging-aggregate. This is one of the wrong views or Sakkhaya Dithi. It appears you take mind (one of the five aggregates) as the self.
