Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in some situations, such as those you experience before a job interview or going on a first date. But severe anxiety disorders differ from these normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness. It may already interfere with your life.
The symptoms of anxiety vary from person to person. You may feel:
- Insomnia
- Difficulty concentrating
- Rapid breathing
- Rapid heart rate
- Overall restlessness
- Overwhelming fear
- Hot flashes
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
