1. Headaches

Most people have anxiety from time to times. However, this is different from being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, which is when the feelings are more frequent or do not go away. Anxiety can also affect your daily routine and cause you to avoid social situations.

Headaches are a common physical symptom that is associated with anxiety. They can range from your average tension headache2 to a full-blown migraine in some people. A lot of people tighten their muscles as part of their fight or flight response, and holding them rigidly for a long period of time can cause pain.

Lightheadedness or dizziness are another physical symptom of anxiety. This could be caused by a rapid heart rate, hyperventilating, or an amalgamation of the two. It could be a sign you are suffering from an illness that is serious, such as heart disease. Talk to your doctor to determine.

You might also feel weak in the legs or arms and arms, which could be a sign of anxiety. This is because the nervous system releases cortisol and adrenaline, which help you respond to a threat by speeding up your heartbeat and prepare your body for an attack. Over time, these hormones can have a negative effect on your health, making you feel weak, shaky or dizzy.

If you're having difficulty getting enough sleep due to anxiety, it can cause your symptoms to get worse. Try to unwind before bed and adhere to an established routine so that you can sleep better.

3. Muscle tension

While most people know that a heart racing and hands that are jittery are indicators of anxiety, many don't realize that muscle tension can be a physical sign of anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic disorder, or even specific phobias. If a person suffers from these symptoms frequently, they may begin to lose their range of motion and experience persistent pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.

Tense muscles are a common sign of anxiety disorders because the body's fight or flight response triggers a cascade of reactions that trigger us to physically react to perceived threats. In moderate levels of anxiety, we trigger these responses as part of our natural survival instinct however, they can cause long-term muscle issues when they are frequent or over a prolonged period of time.

When there is a real danger, your adrenal glands churn out hormones that increase how fast your heart beats, so that it can pump more blood to the big muscles in your arms and legs in the event that you need to flee or fight the threat. These increased heart rates also increase the rate at which your lungs fill up with oxygen. The combination of increased tension and hyperventilation could make you feel lightheaded or dizzy.

If you suffer from an anxiety condition, your body is unable to return to its normal resting state between stress reactions. You are constantly stressed all the time because of your anxiety disorder, which is why you keep your sympathetic nervous system on high alert. This leads to the continuous tension in your muscles that can eventually cause long-term pain, according the American Psychological Association.

Anxiety can also have an impact on your menstrual cycle. That's because it can cause you to miss or have irregular menstrual flow because it affects the release of ovulation-inducing hormones, according to the American Psychological Association.

High blood pressure or heart disease could make you more susceptible to anxiety, so it's important to get these medical issues under control to lower your risk. Inform your therapist if you suffer from any of these ailments.





Other things that could increase the risk of anxiety are traumatizing experiences such as being involved in a car accident or having surgery.

5. Sweating

Anxiety is a term that encompasses an array of emotions that can cause your heart rate to rise and your stomach to ache and your muscles to become tight. These symptoms alone aren't enough to cause anxiety disorders however, when they become chronic, they can cause problems. You might be experiencing chills, sweating and other physical symptoms that prompt you to seek medical treatment.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health sweating is a typical physical sign of anxiety disorders. When your body's fight-or flight response kicks in, it increases the rate that your blood circulates to prepare you for battle or escape. This increase in heart rate can cause you to feel dizzy and breathless. Breathing faster than normal--also known as hyperventilation--can enhance many of these physical symptoms by upsetting the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in your body, according to U.S. National Library of Medicine.
