A stressed body and mind usually use anxiety symptoms to alert you to the difficulty. In it essentially reaching out you by exhibiting symptoms with the hope that you will recognize this and take actions that will alleviate the difficulty. The following are some of the most frequent anxiety symptoms and how to deal with them.
Panic attacks
Anxiety or panic attacks are the body’s response to increased pressure and stress. Your body goes into a flight mode whereby adrenaline is released as well as other stress chemicals in response to the issues or situations. The heart rate increases during these attacks giving you the energy to take flight. You may feel lightheaded, dizzy and your feet may be shaky. This is as a result of adrenaline release allowing you more energy to fight.
