Some of the more common symptoms of anxiety

Symptoms of anxiety are very diverse because levels of anxiety

can range from major panic attacks down to withdrawal from

favorite foods.

We all know the feeling of complete panic when we got lost as a

little child or lost our child as a parent. Our mind was racing,

we felt sick in the stomach and our breathing became tight.

These are the well-known major signs of panic anxiety.

There are much milder forms of anxiety symptoms such as

those produced by the withdrawal of a favorite food, or caffeine

or nicotine. We may get headaches, become irritable feel muscle

twitches and have difficulty thinking clearly or concentrating

under those conditions.

Only a specialist who works with anxiety patients would

be able to tell if a person's symptoms are due to anxiety and

what type of anxiety it is. Often this is after other medical

tests have been performed to rule out another physical problem.

You may have a better idea yourself sometimes because you know

what is normal for you and you know what intensity your feelings

are compared to normal.

However if you have been under stress for a while you may not

notice the symptoms of anxiety as they slowly creep into your

system. You may just fight them off and continue working.

It is therefore unwise to diagnose yourself and

difficult for anyone other than a professional in this field to

diagnose your anxiety.

The patting energy technique explained in this site

beginning at Romance Tips Three can help to relieve or cure the

symptoms above, but it should not be used as a substitute for

proper, professional health care. You may try it first to see if

the symptoms subside or are removed completely, but we do not

advise you to self-diagnose or wait too long before seeking

medical or psychological help.
