Anxiety is a normal response to stressors in life. When we are afraid our metabolism speeds up, our muscles tighten and our adrenal glands produce extra adrenaline that increases our heart rate. Anxiety becomes a problem when it is inappropriate for the situations encountered or when it interferes in normal daily activities. People who are exposed to prolonged periods of anxiety often suffer from insomnia, digestive problems, high blood pressure, skin disorders, mood swings, depression and many other conditions. Anxiety effects tend to make most health conditions worse. Extreme states of worry and anxiety are called panic attacks. During a panic attack the heart races, breathing becomes difficult and dizziness can occur.
