Managing Physical Anxiety Symptoms
Physical symptoms of anxiety can span all bodily functions, from breathing to digestion. Symptoms may be triggered by obvious causes, or by events that seem to have no connection to anxiety. Anxiety may be managed effectively with a range of approaches, such as exercise, counseling and medication.
The method used depends on the underlying causes, and more than one management approach may be needed. Someone with persistent physical anxiety symptoms should consult a trained and qualified therapist or doctor for help addressing the issue.
