Anxiousness

Definition

Anxiousness is a feeling of nervousness, fear, apprehension and impending doom. The term anxiety refers to a category of mental disturbances that consists of generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic syndrome, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive problems. An anxiety attack, also known as a panic attack, is typically accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, hot or cold flashes, and heart palpitations.

Signs

Anxiety can easily disrupt your life, with sleep disturbances, shaking, obsessive behavior, and unmitigated fear. Physical symptoms include, racing pulse, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, dry mouth, numbness and tingling of the fingers and toes, cold/clammy fingers, lightheadedness, fatigue, trembling, indigestion, and diarrhea. Those afflicted with severe anxiety may avoid being in the public as much as possible.

Trigger

Anxiety problems occur in individuals of all ages, but seem to be much more typical in women. However, the occurrence of an anxiety problem is completely unpredictable. Panic attacks are also unpredictable but may be connected to particular acts that cause anxiety such as boating or driving a car. It is difficult to determine the precise trigger because it may involve several elements such as emotional tension, biochemical imbalances, and environmental triggers. In women, hormone imbalances can trigger anxiousness. Consequently, hormone assessment is important. Amino and fatty acid imbalances may also play an essential role in triggering anxiety attacks.
