Dealing with Anxiety

Symptoms Someone Might Notice If They Were Dealing with Anxiety

Focus Problems

When you are anxious, you are more likely to be nervous, restless, or tense. As a result, you may experience concentration problems.

Muscle Tension

When you have feelings of anxiety, your muscles are likely to contract, causing tension. Muscle tension is one of the physical symptoms of anxiety.

Fatigue

Researchers believe anxiety-related fatigue can be caused by other symptoms like muscle tension.

Insomnia

Experiencing feelings of anxiety can prevent you from falling and staying asleep. While some say anxiety causes insomnia, others believe it is the other way round. We need mainstream science to intervene and settle this debate once and for all.

Nutritionist, Cornell University, MS

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
