Anxiety: Medical Checkup

Worry is the primary symptom of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You might have a problem with worry if you have excess apprehension or avoidance for more days than not during the past six months.

Seriously anxious people have difficulty being able to control their worry and typically suffer with sleep interruptions, fatique, restlessness, concentration difficulties, and prolonged tenseness in their muscles.

Anyone contemplating Cognitive Behavioral treatments for anxiety should get a complete and thorough physical examination by their doctor. Have them check for any thyroid problems, hypoglycemia, mitral valve prolapse and other cardiac problems.
