Know the Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety is a medical complaint which can present in over a hundred different symptoms.
Some people have to cope with most of these, while others more fortunate will only experience one symptom at any given time.
Understanding what the major symptoms of Anxiety are can be very helpful, as it alerts the sufferer at an early stage to seek professional medical advice.
Physical Symptoms Physiological manifestations of Anxiety are not always apparent, but there are many which can and do appear.
The sudden onset of stiffness and muscular aches which do not respond to painkillers is one.
Also new allergies may develop, or previous ones may intensify.
Some other common symptoms of Anxiety are; frequent blushing, profuse sweating, redness or conversely unusual pallor of the face, an increase in body temperature and sweaty or 'clammy' hands.
Other frequently encountered symptoms include a sensation of 'pins and needles' or a burning sensation of the skin followed by chillness.
An unexplained feeling of tightness in the chest may also be present.
With any form of Anxiety or Stress, some symptoms are to be expected.
Libido in both sexes may be subdued or absent, and the Male may fail to maintain an erection.
In some cases Anxiety can even affect a sufferer's speech, a stutter may develop, or the mouth becomes so dry it seems difficult to form words.
Weight gain or loss can be a major symptom, as can insomnia.
These are the main warning signals, but there are many more - some of which seem rather strange and unconnected.
For example: Being more clumsy than is usual, being more easily startled, a feeling of the ground shifting beneath your feet, and a change in urination habits (more or less frequently, with pain or difficulty) Mental Symptoms The mental effects of Anxiety are manifold.
Sometimes, sufferers experience a frightening sensation of being constantly overwhelmed by hitherto seemingly insignificant events, or a dread of making mistakes in everyday situations, and being ridiculed.
These are examples of symptoms which, whilst not apparent outwardly, seriously affect the sufferer on the inside.
