A member asked:

Why does anxiety cause so many symptoms? and how can one tell they're aren't from a bigger problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Your doctor or doctors depending on your symptoms can eliminate various possibilities narrowing down the variables until a definitive diagnosis can be made. Usually not something you can do on your own.
