If you suffer with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) then there’s a very good chance that you will experience physical and psychological symptoms brought on by the uncontrollable worrying and panicking that’s associated with the condition.
So, What Causes These GAD Symptoms?
Most of the symptoms you’ll experience if you have generalized anxiety disorder are the result of having too much adrenaline in your system, which is something almost all GAD sufferers have.
It’s not normal to have such high levels of adrenaline in your system, especially over extended periods of time, and the result of this is typically unpleasant symptoms that are hard to shake.
The more time you’re exposed to these higher levels of adrenaline, the more symptoms you’ll develop, and the stronger they’ll be (this is what makes them so hard to shake off).
To stop the symptoms from worsening or lingering, it’s essential that ways to calm the body are found so that the excess adrenaline levels have a chance to return to normal.
What Are The Most Common GAD Symptoms?
GAD has the potential to cause any number of physical and psychological symptoms, as you can probably imagine. There are, however, a handful of common ones that almost everyone with generalized anxiety disorder will experience at some time in their lives.
These are:
- Palpitations
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Muscle Tension
- Muscle Aches
- Muscle Twitches
- Fatigue
- Sweating
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Depersonalization
Many of these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than GAD, and this can often leave you worrying that the cause may be something far more sinister. It’s important to remember, though, that all forms of anxiety disorder can cause severe physical and psychological symptoms.
If you take every opportunity you can to relax your body and your mind, you’ll almost certainly find that your GAD symptoms begin to ease.
