Therapist here with tips🙋🏻‍♀️: My main physical symptom of anxiety is shortness of breath(explanation as to why this happens below👇🏻) When this happens, I find myself yawning as a way to connect the breath and reassure myself that I can still breathe. It always comes up at the worst times 🙃 So, why do we experience physical symptoms with out anxiety? When you experience stress or anxiety your fight or flight response is triggered because your brain is responding to a perceived threat. This response will activate your sympathetic nervous system and involuntary physical responses will take place as your body prepares to fight off or flee the threat. Some examples include: * Shortness of breath * Throat feeling tight * Pounding heart or increased heart rate. * Sweating/ having a specific sweat smell. * Trembling * Headaches * Stomach pain & digestive issues * Struggling with sleep * Muscle aches * Chest pain * Fatigue How to help: - focus on your senses- what’s around you that you can see, hear, smell? - distract yourself, if safe, pull out a game or something on your phone to get your mind off your breath - move your body! dance around, shake, walk etc Ib: vanwinkle Remember, this can mean many other things as well including asthma & POTS.
