Se below: When you feel anxious, your sympathetic nervous system goes into overdrive. It goes into flight or fight response mode. Neurotransmitters and hormones such as norepinephrine and epinephrine are released from your nerve endings and adrenal glands. They increase your heart rate and blood pressure.
