Seek Help Immediately If You Spot These 4 Red Flags


A little bit of worry is a normal part of being human. But sometimes, things can reach a state of severity that it will soon begin to affect your physical and mental health.



Simply put, anxiety is a feeling of unease, nervousness and extreme worry about an event or decision that needs to be made. This will commonly happen when you are facing a stressful situation, such as taking an exam or going to a hospital.

It is crucial to know when your anxiety is a symptom of a more severe (and possibly life-threatening) illness.



You should go to a specialist if you notice these four situations relating to anxiety as they could be potentially dangerous.

*If you find yourself worrying constantly and consistently. Often, you might find yourself tied up in
  knots over things that a regular part of your everyday life or situations that are very unlikely to
  happen.



*If you notice some physical symptoms whenever you worry. You might find yourself feeling nauseous,
  experiencing headaches, feeling lightheaded or dizzy, experiencing shortness of breath, sweating,
  irregular/thumping heartbeat, high blood pressure, difficulty sleeping or even feeling the need to use
  the toilet more frequently than normal.






*You should also look out for psychological effects of anxiety. These are a range of non-physical reactions you might experience such as feeling tense, nervous and on edge; having a sense of dread, or fearing the worst; feeling like the world is speeding up or slowing down; feeling like other people can see you’re anxious and are looking at you; feeling like your mind is really busy with thoughts; dwelling on negative experiences, or thinking over a situation again and again (this is called rumination); feeling restless and not being able to concentrate; feeling numb.


*Constantly experiencing panic attacks. This is characterized by a rush of intense anxiety and physical symptom. They often happen suddenly and can be very overwhelming especially because it seems to happen for no obvious reason.


* You might feel the need to ignore these symptoms or even find yourself feeling confused. But you should take them absolutely seriously and talk to your doctor. Give him/her as many specific details as you can about your feelings, emotions or any other aspect of your personal life. Anything could be a trigger and you need to explore these areas of your life with your health adviser. Once your doctor understands your symptoms, they can make an accurate diagnosis.
