A member asked:

Can getting mad cause anxiety and lightheaded but could being mad bring on anxiety the root cause ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info needed: Anxiety and anger can be related as well as sometimes present with similar somatic symptoms or body symptoms. I've found many patients especially women who perceive anxiety ( difficulty breathing, heightened heart rate, light- headedness) who are holding back anger as it's more socially acceptable for women to express emotions like anxiety or sadness. Maybe be if problem, seek therapy to find out.
