A member asked:
Is there a way of knowing whether physical symptoms occur due to anxiety or actual independant things? i am quite a worrier; a vicious circle!

Usually: If your md has checked you over and finds nothing physically wrong to explain your symptoms then they certainly could be anxiety. Then it might be appropriate for you to seek counseling or possibly medication to help you deal with the anxiety. Anxiety is related to stress & is normal to an extent but when it is out of control you need help to get it back under control!

See below: Although a bit tricky for the reason you describe so well, it is possible to improve how one copes with anxiety. Assessing for medical problems alongside treating the anxiety clarifies what the origin of the symptoms is. A psychiatrist can help clarify these aspects.
