What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
There are a number of symptoms that may indicate that you may be suffering from anxiety. Physical signs of anxiety include a nervousness or dread that you feel others will notice and avoid certain situations. Anxiety can also be difficult to control because you have so many fears. Your GP can diagnose anxiety disorders by asking you questions and administering a questionnaire. If your symptoms are severe, you may need therapy and/or medical treatment.
While there is no single cause of anxiety, certain circumstances can increase your risk. Some major life events, such as a traumatic event, can cause an elevated level of anxiety. Other triggers of anxiety include chronic illness, extreme stress, or the abuse of substances. Substance abuse may also contribute to your anxiety symptoms because it can mask symptoms of the disorder. For these reasons, it is important to seek help as soon as you are aware of your symptoms.
Anxiety can put additional strain on your heart. People with cardiovascular disease are at a greater risk of developing anxiety disorders because of the physical symptoms. An elevated heart rate and increased blood pressure can damage heart muscle, and decrease heart rate variability may result in increased mortality. Panic disorder can mimic a heart attack. The symptoms of this condition are intense and recurrent. Additionally, if the anxiety attacks are accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, and trembling, the person could be suffering from a heart attack.
Exposure therapy is another way to treat anxiety. Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing the person to the feared object or situation, either in a safe environment or through the imagination. As the fear is faced without hurting the patient, it will gradually diminish. The symptoms of anxiety and depression may decrease or even disappear. However, it is essential to seek medical attention if you are suffering from anxiety or panic attacks. When it is time for treatment, remember that it may take a while.
Medications can be effective in treating anxiety disorders. Antipsychotic drugs such as buspirone or venlafaxine are commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. These medicines have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, but there are several possible side effects of these medications. In addition to medication, your healthcare provider may recommend therapy to help you cope with the symptoms of anxiety. The treatment you choose will depend on the type of anxiety disorder you have, and the doctor’s preference.
Social connection is important in maintaining good health. Social connections help us thrive, and talking about our worries with others can make anxiety symptoms seem less overwhelming. Try joining a support group or self-help group to talk to other people about your worries. You may even try to quit drinking and using drugs, which worsens anxiety. Support groups for people struggling with addiction are an excellent way to overcome this condition. And getting adequate sleep every night is important for your mental and physical health.
