Physical Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just a feeling; it can be a physical ailment. Since they are normally the most strenuous part about having anxiety, many people mistake it for some other form of physical illness.
When you are under stress or anxious, this system kicks into action, and physical symptoms can appear — headaches, nausea, and shortness of breath, shakiness, or stomach pain.
Having an anxiety disorder can make a major impact in the workplace. People may turn down a promotion or other opportunity because it involves travel or public speaking; make excuses to get out of office parties, staff lunches, and other events or meetings with coworkers; or be unable to meet deadlines.
