Anxiety

For many anxiety can manifest as physical symptoms such  as racing heartbeat, chest tightness, shortness of breath, trembling or  shaking, sweating, muscle tension, headaches, stomachaches, dizziness,  and fatigue. It can also lead to restlessness,  irritability, difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts, excessive  worrying, trouble sleeping, feeling on edge, and a sense of impending  doom.

Anxiety  disorders can arise from a combination of genetic, environmental, and  psychological factors. Traumatic events, chronic stress, family history  of anxiety, certain medical conditions, substance abuse, and brain  chemistry imbalances can increase the risk of developing anxiety  disorders.

Several  effective anxiety treatment options are available, including therapy (such as  cognitive-behavioral therapy), medication (such as selective serotonin  reuptake inhibitors), relaxation techniques, and self-help strategies  (exercise, stress management, meditation). If you experience persistent symptoms of anxiety that are impacting your daily life, seeking professional help is crucial.
