What are some physical side effects of anxiety?

Chronic stress and anxiety can cause physical side effects in almost every system in your body. If you feel lousy and there doesn’t seem to be a physical cause, anxiety might be the culprit.

It can be so severe that ER personnel often see people experiencing panic or anxiety who mistakenly think they’re having heart attacks. That’s the body’s way of telling you to check-in and take your emotional temperature, as well as to look for a physical cause.
