Natural solutions may help you cope with anxiety

-

Do you suffer from anxiety? There are almost 100 symptoms which can range from heart palpitatio­ns, feeling dizzy, numbness or tingling, blank mind, lack of focus, apprehensi­on, or fears that something bad is going to happen. You may experience weakness in the legs, inability to rest, or sleep problems.

Some will experience pain in the chest that can be so intense it can feel like you’re having a heart attack. In fact, the symptoms of heart attack and panic attack are so similar that your doctor may investigat­e and rule out heart attack as a matter of precaution.

Natural remedies may help you cope with the symptoms, or you may need medication. There is often a stigma about anxiety, but there is no shame in it. Do what you need in order to cope. When you feel stronger and more able to deal with your symptoms you may choose to look at natural solutions.
