Anxiety


Have you ever felt anxiety? Maybe you feel it when you are in trouble or scared. You tend to feel it in your torso and that’s where the term “My heart sank”. Anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressor. Some simple stressors are frustration, conflict, pressure, change and self- imposed. The basic reaction to stressors is physical, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive.
If you have a physical reaction to anxiety, the heart rate raises, you sometimes become weak, and you tend to get headaches and stomachaches. The emotional reactions could be the feeling of dread; you may become tense and have trouble concentrating. The behavioral effects could be increased motor tension like biting your nails or tapping your feet. Finally the cognitive reactions might include thoughts of danger such as dying or getting injured.
Too much anxiety could cause Anxiety disorders or panic attacks. Panic attacks are very common and can be treated medically and naturally. If you do it naturally an example could be not to hold your breath or pretending like it’s not happening.
