We don’t talk about the physical symptoms of anxiety enough. Like that horrible churning feeling in your stomach. Or feeling light-headed or dizzy. Or pins and needles. Anxiety can affect our body in so many ways. Such as: • Trembling or shaking • Feeling restless or unable to sit still • Aches and pains like headaches or sore muscles • Faster breathing • A fast, thumping or irregular heartbeat • Sweating or hot flushes • Sleep problems • Grinding your teeth, especially at night • Nausea (feeling sick) • Needing the toilet more or less often • Changes in your sex drive • Having panic attacks Sometimes it might be hard to work out if your symptoms are related to anxiety. Or to your physical health. If you’re unsure or worried, talk to your GP. Meanwhile if you want to find out more about anxiety and what can be done to ease it, please visit our website 💙
