焦虑让你感到生病吗?

焦虑是与几种心理健康障碍相关的情感。当人们想到焦虑时,他们往往会想到令人担忧和压力。他们想到恐惧和一种感觉,就像有些东西会出错。在思想和行为中看到了焦虑。

但是焦虑实际上有一个大身体component too. Stress can have a tremendous impact on your health, and one of the most common consequences is feeling ill and unwell.

Anxiety Can Cause Feelings of Illness

The stress from anxiety can cause feelings of genuine sickness. These feelings are often very similar to the way physical illnesses make you feel. Your stomach can feel like it's rumbling and you may even feel nauseated. Feeling sick may be a sign that you've fallen ill, but it can also be a sign of anxiety.

虽然生病了可能是唯一的焦虑的身体症状,但是有些人通常包括呼吸,头晕和疲劳。

为什么焦虑会引起生病的感觉?

In general, that sick feeling is caused by a number of different factors. Just a few of which include:

感到生病是往往会引起关注的事情。有些人感到厌倦了他们呕吐或经历深刻的恶心,让他们远离他们的活动。通过这种方式,焦虑的物理效应会导致进一步的焦虑,创造一个循环。

有些人在焦虑时经历不仅仅是恶心。他们可能会遇到其他类似于感冒或流感的症状。他们可能觉得他们的腺体肿胀,或者他们的舌头是干燥的。他们可能会感到叹为观。他们甚至可能咳嗽或经历严重的胃部不适,如消化不良。

Are You Sick?

When anxiety is causing these symptoms, they're unpleasant but not dangerous. Although you feel physically unwell, this is likely due to the body's natural fight or flight response rather than a disease. Fight or flight is thought to be an evolutionary survival mechanism to get us out of dangerous situations.

The problem isn't the bodily symptoms themselves, which can be very useful in certain situations. The problem is that you're experiencing the response at unhelpful times and for long periods, often when it is inconvenient. People feel these symptoms for different reasons:

Situational anxiety is actually natural. It's uncomfortable, but it's natural. Back in school, if you felt severe illness before a big test, it's because you genuinely feared that test. It may even have motivated you to study harder. While tests don’t usually provoke extreme fear, the reaction is not unexpected.

来自焦虑的慢性疾病的感觉可能更为问题,因为当你的焦虑不会消失时,生病的感觉也不会消失。它变成了让你对健康感到更糟的东西,让你的能量保持在你的一天中的能量。这通常是一个迹象,你需要做一些关于焦虑的事情。

Temporarily Relief for the Sick Feeling

Most over the counter medicines that calm the stomach can be mildly effective at relieving most of the sick feeling. Even though the nausea is caused by anxiety, some of the symptoms can be relieved with medicines.

For issues like swollen glands, treating them can be a bit more complicated. That's because your glands aren't always swollen, and if they are it is not usually that severe. Yet focusing on that part of the body can make us hyper sensitive to physical changes, and they feel more distressing. Your body is so attuned to the way you feel that it starts to believe that it feels significant issues, out of proportion with the reality.
