Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
The disorder presents itself through both physical and psychological symptoms. People with generalized anxiety disorder often find that the worries interfere with their ability to work or concentrate. Physical symptoms include rapid heartbeat, fast breathing, disturbed sleep, muscle aches, tightness of chest, and easy fatigability experienced continuously for at least six months. The symptoms can vary between individuals, but typically they are related to the muscles and involuntary actions and the performance of mind.
These symptoms are typically physical in nature, and people suffering from anxiety disorder often get directed to a family physician, cardiologist or pulmonary specialist rather than a psychiatrist.
