20 most common physical symptoms of anxiety- what they are and why they happen.

Doctor explains: Does anxiety cause shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain and tightness, headaches, stomachaches, diarrhea, and other physical symptoms?

If you struggle with anxiety you know that it is more than just worrying. Anxiety can cause so many physical symptoms too, such as fatigue, headaches, stomachaches, chest tightness, dizziness, blurry vision, sweating, and unfortunately many more.
