What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?

The signs and symptoms of anxiety vary, though most of them are closely connected in some ways. It’s possible that you could be suffering from more than one of these symptoms at a time.

Restlessness

If you find yourself unable to stand still, it’s possible you suffer from restlessness. This means you have a strange need to be always moving, even when it means being in place. While this symptom is quite common in children and teens who have anxiety, adults can have it, too. It’s one of the more notable signs of anxiety, though just because you’re restless does not mean you have anxiety.

Irrational Fear

Phobias constitute a significant part of anxiety, as it involves having an intense fear of things that, most commonly, does not cause such fear in others. This can include the fear of being late for something, getting hurt, or running into something that will frighten you. While phobias towards animals and insects are common forms, there is also fear of anything involving public or social events or places.

Fatigue/Tiredness

While being chronically tired is not in itself a sign that you have anxiety, it can still count as a symptom. It may not seem as obvious as some other symptoms, but it has been seen in some who do have anxiety. It can occur regularly and be the result of other symptoms, such as excessive stress or panic attacks.

Insomnia

Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get to sleep is not so uncommon among those with anxiety. Insomnia and trouble with sleep are then heavily associated with the disorder and can be a severe cause for disruption in one’s daily life. If you have had insomnia in the past (such as in childhood), your risk of anxiety can be higher.

 

 

Worry

Everyone worries about something, but having anxiety means worrying about every little thing. In this specific case, it means worrying so much that it interferes with your daily life and having a high number of triggers for becoming worried. It’s a significant symptom of anxiety, so if you find yourself worrying excessively about everything, you should consult with a medical professional.

Lack of Concentration

Due to how anxiety can make the mind race, it should come as no surprise that concentrating is something some will have trouble with. When combined with the other possible symptoms, difficulty concentrating becomes something that happens as a result. If you are agitated, paranoid, and can’t stand still, you are more likely to be distracted and unfocused.

Panic Attacks

A panic attack (also known as an anxiety attack) happens when you start to sweat, your heart races, and you get into a fight-or-flight state of mind. These attacks are usually out of irrational fear that is all in your head, though they can result in real physical reactions. How long they last varies, but it can be several minutes.

Agitation

Since anxiety causes your body to act as if something is horribly wrong, you might find yourself constantly feeling overwhelmingly frustrated. Agitation is a common sign of anxiety since you will feel extremely uneasy whenever you start getting anxious.

Paranoia

If you’re feeling uneasy and uncomfortable all of the time, it’s likely that you’re feeling a bit paranoid. With anxiety, you may start to worry about your next panic attack, whether something will happen to you, or maybe that someone is conspiring against you. All of this adds to a person’s paranoia as a result of their other anxiety symptoms.

Sickness

While anxiety can lead to your mind thinking about things that cause you stress, it can do the same to your body. If you’re suffering from acute anxiety, you are just as likely to feel physically unwell in some capacity, whether it’s headaches or stomach sickness.

If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, we will be happy to help you find appropriate anxiety treatment at Mango Clinic Miami.

 

What Are the Different Types of Anxiety?

While a variety of signs and symptoms of anxiety exist, there are also different types of anxiety disorders. Some of these disorders are more common than others, and some others are more specific in what causes them.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

As the name says, this is a generalized disorder and one of the most common types; it can be a major disruption to your daily life activities. It involves many of the common symptoms associated with anxiety, such as excessive worry, frustration, agitation, and paranoia.

Panic Disorder

This is when the leading cause of anxiety is primarily tied with panic attacks. This involves having the attack, being in fear of the next attack, and avoiding people and places in an attempt to prevent another attack. It mainly comes down to fear, which brings about panic disorder and can cause the individual not to want to engage with anyone or anything. Anxiety attack symptoms can include increased heart rate, trembling, shortness of breath, and sweating.

 

 

Agoraphobia

Also known as social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia is essentially a fear of public spaces, transportation, and events. Anywhere there are people and crowds, someone with agoraphobia is likely to avoid or be in fear of. The fear of embarrassment (being judged by others), feeling trapped (no exits), and being helpless contribute to one having agoraphobia.

Separation Anxiety Disorder

While it is often associated with children, it can affect anyone of any age. The feelings associated with separation anxiety are similar among all age groups, as they involve fear of not being with someone, what might happen to them if they are separated, and the person they are attached to comes to some harm.

Phobia Specific

Some people’s anxiety comes from a very specific thing, and this often comes in the form of phobias. While agoraphobia has been covered, that’s a bit more general than, say, a fear of flying or a fear of snakes. Anxiety attacks and fear can result if exposed to the things they have a phobia for; avoiding these same things is also common. Regardless of which types of anxiety apply to you, expert doctors at Mango Clinic Miami will be able to find a way to treat your anxiety, with or without anxiety medications.
