How does Anxiety create real symptoms?

[Notebook30]

I have had a range of strange symptoms the last few weeks, really scary and bothering me every day.

I’ve spoken to the doctor numerous occasions and they put my mind at rest.

When I’m busy I don’t notice it all as much.

I just had a follow up with a physio over the phone and she wasn’t very friendly and used words like “I hope this isn’t serious” and “it’s not normal but can happen” the doctor has been so chilled and now she’s said all this it’s put doubt back in my mind. Since getting off the phone to her my symptoms have got worse again!!!

I feel really worried.

How does the mind do this?

Can anyone else relate to what I’m saying?

This is about stress on the body. Now after reading this think about how much worse it is when its not just stress and its anxiety, trauma, chronic fears or depression.

Definitely! Body and mind are connected more than we know. It's like my neurologist says "there is a two-way street between the body and the mind".
