Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety and Panic Attacks An anxiety problem can be difficult to deal with, as the person who suffers from it may be constantly worried about something they cannot control. Most people have at least one form of anxiety at some point in their life, but a full-blown anxiety attack is more likely if the person suffers from a generalized anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder. The medical terms for these conditions are known as anxiety disorders and include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, and agoraphobia. All of these conditions can affect anyone at any age, although the severity of the problem will depend on the individual. For example, people with GAD may have no trouble controlling their symptoms, but the disorder may be severe enough to limit their daily activities. Symptoms of generalized anxiety include feelings of panic or dread when faced with a particular situation. These situations may cause a number of physical and psychological symptoms, including dizziness, heart palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, chest pain, difficulty breathing, trembling, nausea, shortness of breath, stomach pain, blurred vision, feeling of impending doom, trembling, or shaking, and muscle tension. If these symptoms seem to persist, there may be some underlying problem that needs treatment. People with social anxiety are afraid of being watched, evaluated, judged, or even talked to by others, and may experience panic attacks whenever they feel they are being watched. A sufferer of this condition may also have problems making friends, staying sober, making dates, or working in a group setting. A sufferer of a specific phobia, such as agoraphobia or panic attacks, may have a variety of physical symptoms such as nausea, choking sensations, dizziness, trembling, shakiness, or chest pain. Many of these symptoms may not be present if a person is just having a panic attack. In some cases, patients will have physical symptoms before, during, or after an attack, and they may also have feelings of panic or fear throughout the day. Specific phobias include hoarding, compulsive skin picking, social phobia, shyness, or fear of public speaking. In many of these cases, the symptoms may be so severe that the person’s ability to function normally is significantly limited. Anyone can develop an anxiety disorder at some point in their life, so it is important to remember that everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. When you think you are experiencing anxiety symptoms, it is important to speak to a professional about your situation to find out what type of treatment is best for you. There are several ways to treat anxiety, including therapy, exercise, herbal remedies, relaxation techniques, hypnosis, herbal supplements, self-help books, vitamins and minerals, diet, and lifestyle changes. If you suspect you may have a specific phobia or other anxiety disorder, you can speak to a licensed mental health professional about your symptoms. While most doctors will prescribe medication for panic attacks and other anxiety conditions, some prefer to work with you on your own diagnosis and treatment. Anxiety medication, such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, and Klonopin, can be useful but should not be used when dealing with anxiety. Often, patients become tolerant to the medication and their attacks become less severe. If your doctor does not think you need medication, you might consider trying a variety of relaxation methods, such as yoga, meditation, acupuncture, tai chi, or meditation, which may be more affordable or safer than over-the-counter drugs. These methods have been proven to be effective in treating anxiety, and panic attacks. Exercise is another good way to help manage your anxiety and prevent it from becoming a condition. Taking a walk in the park, playing a sport, or taking a walk around the block can reduce stress and help you to unwind and relieve your symptoms. If you enjoy taking up hobbies, make sure you check with your doctor to find out what activities are safe and what the risk factors may be, since some people do have problems with anxiety or panic attacks while playing certain sports.

Sedam simptoma tjeskobe Anksioznost dolazi u mnogim različitim oblicima - kao što su napadi panike, fobija i socijalna anksioznost - a razlika između službene dijagnoze i "normalne" tjeskobe nije uvijek jasna Svi su s vremena na vrijeme nervozni ili tjeskobni - prije javnog govora ili kad prolazimo kroz financijske teškoće ili teške periodne u životu. Ipak, za neke ljude tjeskoba postaje toliko česta ili toliko snažna da počinje preuzimati njihove živote. Kako možete znati je li vaša svakodnevna anksioznost prešla u poremećaj? Nije lako. Anksioznost dolazi u mnogim različitim oblicima - kao što su napadi panike, fobija i socijalna anksioznost - a razlika između službene dijagnoze i "normalne" tjeskobe nije uvijek jasna. Pretjerana zabrinutost Simptomi najraširenijeg tipa anksioznosti, generalizirananog anksioznog poremećaja, jest pretjerana zabrinutost o svakodnevnim stvarima, velikim i malim. Ali što znači "pretjerana"? U slučaju GAD-a, to znači uporne i dugotrajne anksiozne misli većinu dana u tjednu. Isto tako, tjeskoba je toliko jaka da ometa svakodnevni život i da ga prate zamjetljivi simptomi, poput umora. Iracionalni strahovi Neke tjeskobe povezane su s određenim situacijama ili stvarima poput letenja, životinja ili gužva. Ako strah postane neodoljiv, razoran i nije potkrepljen u stvranom riziku, to je znak fobije, tipa anksioznog poremećaja. Napetost mišića Neprekidna napetost mišića - bilo da se radi o stezanju čeljusti ili savijanja mišića tijela - često prati poremećaje anksioznosti. Ovaj simptom može biti tako uporan da ga ljudi, koji dugo žive s njim, mogu prestati primjećivati nakon nekog vremena. Kronične probavne smetnje Anksioznost počinje u umu, ali se često manifestira u tijelu kroz fizičke simptome, poput kroničnih probavnih problema. Sindrom iritabilnog crijeva, stanje koje karakterizira bol u trbuhu, grčenje, nadutost, plin, zatvor ili proljev, u osnovi je anksioznost probavnog trakta. Jaka trema zbog javnog govora Većina ljudi osjeti leptiriće prije obraćanja grupi ljudi ili kad su na neki drugi način u središtu pozornosti. Ali ako je strah toliko snažan da ga nikakav treninga ili praksa ne ublažuju, ili ako provodite dosta vremena razmišljanja i brinući o tome, možda imate oblik socijalnog anksioznog poremećaja (također poznat kao socijalna fobija). Panika Napad panike može biti zastrašujuć: iznenadni osjećaj straha i bespomoćnosti koji može potrajati nekoliko minuta, praćen zastrašujućim tjelesnim simptomima kao što su problemi s disanjem, ubrzani otkucaji srca, trnci, znojenje, slabost ili vrtoglavica, bol u prsima, bol u trbuhu i osjećaj vrućine ili hladnoće. Nemaju svi koji se suoče s napadajima panike anksiozni poremećaj, ali ljudi koji ih često doživljavaju, mopžda imaju panični poremećaj. Osobe s paničnim poremećajem žive u strahu kada, gdje i zašto bi se njihov sljedeći napad mogao dogoditi. Ponovno proživljavanje traume u sjećanju Preusmjeravanje uznemirujućeg ili traumatičnog događaja - nasilje, iznenadna smrt voljene osobe - znak je posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja (PTSP), koji dijeli neke značajke anksioznih poremećaja. (Do vrlo nedavno, zapravo, PTSP se smatrao tipom poremećaja anksioznosti). Ali flashback ili ponovno proživljavanje traume u sjećanju, mogu se događati u kombinaciji s drugim tipovima anksioznosti. Neka istraživanja, uključujući studiju iz 2006. objavljenu u časopisu Journal of Anxiety Disorders, sugeriraju da ljudi s društvenom anksioznošću imaju retrospektive iskustva slična PTSP-u, koja možda nisu očito traumatični, poput javnog ismijavanja.
