Constipation, palpitations, insomnia ... These physical discomforts may be because of anxiety!

Xiaomei is a company's white -collar worker, and her life is superior, but she is very distressed recently. In the usual work, Xiaomei is serious and practical, the concept of time is strong, the concept of time, and the performance is excellent. But when she is about to assess, her body will be in a condition.

In the half -year assessment, Xiaomei suddenly felt unwell in her chest, and soon turned into chest tightness, her breathing was not smooth, and her palpitations and panic appeared. She felt that her heart was jumping fast and heavy, and even had a feeling of heart disease.

Out of concern, Xiaomei quickly went to the hospital for cardiology. The results of ECG, blood sugar, and cardiac ultrasound were all shown in normal. The doctor also told Xiaomei that she had no problem with her body.

Xiaomei didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable, but the doctor couldn't find out the problem? The doctor suggested that Xiaomei went to the psychology department to see.

Frequently discomfort in the body, but not any problems, this situation often encounters in clinical work. We know that psychology is closely related to the body. In 1948, the World Health Organization established a declaration of people's health as "the body, psychology, and society's full situation." In fact, more and more diseases are not simply studied and treated from the perspective of physiology, and it is necessary to consider psychological factors and social factors.

When Xiaomei came to the psychology department, the doctor evaluated Xiaomei's physical and mental condition, and judged that Xiaomei was in anxiety in combination with the results of the psychological evaluation table. What she perceives is the manifestation of anxiety on the body.

In fact, it is not just Xiaomei. Many people who have reached the diagnosis of anxiety disorders or are in anxiety have experienced physical symptoms. Therefore, sometimes physical discomfort is actually a manifestation of psychological anxiety.

Anxual disorders, as the most common psychological disorders, in addition to the core characteristics of excessive fear and anxiety, can also cause a series of physical symptoms. We can simply divide:

Gastrointestinal symptoms

Symptoms of gastrointestinal tract are very common symptoms of anxiety. Patients have stomach discomfort, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating or constipation due to nervousness and fear.

Chest symptom

When you are anxious, you will feel chest tightness and breath, suffocation, chest discomfort, pain, dyspnea, excessive breathing, palpitations, panic, fast heartbeat, uneven heart rhythm, etc.

Neurological symptoms

Dizziness, dizziness, headache, and no concentration of attention. In severe cases, they will feel that they lose their balance or are about to faint. Some people will be sensitive to external stimuli and are prone to shocking reactions.

Oral symptom

There is a feeling of choking (swallowing obstruction) or dry mouth.

Skin symptom

The limbs are numb, acupuncture, sweaty body, red or pale face or other parts, feel hot or cold.

Muscle symptom

One or more groups of muscle uncomfortable tensions appear. The facial expression is unnatural or the movements are stiff. In severe cases, muscle soreness and rigidity of the chest, neck, shoulder and back muscles appear. Some patients may also have a small movement of rubbing, sitting without sitting, constantly walking back and forth, and no purposeful movements. In severe cases, limb tremor, convulsions, and even voice tremor, trembling or weakness.

Symptom

Because anxiety consumes too much energy, anxiety patients are prone to fatigue in studying work and life. Under fear of concerns, I often sleep poorly, and it is difficult to fall asleep, insomnia, and nightmares are easy to wake up.

Other symptoms

Some male patients will have impotence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, cold sex, etc.; Female patients may have physical symptoms such as menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and lack of sexual desire. Some patients may relieve anxiety through material abuse and eventually lead to material dependence, especially alcohol dependencies.

We will find that Xiaomei is because of anxiety, and she is still in the early days of anxiety.

After that, Xiaomei followed the doctor's order, regulated medication, and controlled the anxiety, and the body did not have an inexplicable discomfort again. Under the advice of a psychologist, she also practiced mindfulness meditation to further learn how to regulate her anxiety, and the state of the whole person became better and better.
