When your body and mind feel like they're betraying you

The physical symptoms are terrifying. Heart racing, can't breathe, dizzy, sick - you've probably been to A&E convinced something's seriously wrong, only to be told "it's just anxiety."

But it doesn't feel like "just" anything. The symptoms are real, frightening, and disrupting every part of your life. You need someone who understands that anxiety symptoms aren't "all in your head" - they're real experiences that need real help.

Common questions about anxiety symptoms

  • Always get medical symptoms checked first. Once physical causes are ruled out, the pattern of symptoms (especially if they occur during stress) often points to anxiety.

  • Anxiety triggers your fight-or-flight response, flooding your body with stress hormones. This creates real physical changes - it's not imaginary or "made up."

  • While anxiety symptoms feel terrible, they're not dangerous. However, the stress of chronic anxiety can impact your health over time, which is why treatment is important.
