These Are the Symptoms of Anxiety

Let’s face it: we all get stressed. Stress is a totally normal reaction in many situations, like family problems, financial stress, or an upcoming exam or job interview. However, there comes a point in time when the symptoms you’re experiencing might be more than a little bit of stress. This is anxiety, and here are some of its most common symptoms:

• Restlessness and irritability

• Feeling tense or on edge

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Shortness of breath or rapid breathing

• Increased heart rate and palpitations

• Sweating, trembling or shaking

• Dry mouth, nausea or abdominal distress

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

Any of those sound familiar?

When we’re talking about anxiety, it’s important to remember that we’re talking about a pattern.
