Causes of Anxiety

Heart Problems Can Cause Anxiety

If you've had a panic attack, your hands go clammy, you can't breathe, and your heart feels like it's about to explode. Anxiety and cardiac issues are linked.

Drinking and Drugs Cause Anxiety

Alcohol causes anxiousness. Anxiety disorders increase the risk of drug and alcohol abuse by 2 to 3 times. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America also says alcohol and narcotics may trigger panic attacks (ADAA).

Caffeine and Anxiety Make You Feel Jittery and Nervous

Overdoing coffee may exacerbate anxiety, especially in those with panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. Like anxiousness, too much coffee may make you uneasy and keep you up at night.

Medication May Cause Anxiety

Thyroid, asthma, and over-the-counter decongestants might trigger anxiety in some individuals. Benzodiazepine discontinuation might increase anxiety.

Anxiety-Inducing Weight Loss Pills

Several OTC weight loss pills cause anxiety. Green tea extracts, which claim to curb hunger, contain caffeine, and St. John's wort may cause sleeplessness.

Can Your Thyroid Cause Anxiety?

Thyroid overproduction may induce anxiety symptoms as anxiousness, irritability, heart palpitations, and insomnia. Anxiety issues have been connected to hypothyroidism.

Stress May Worsen Anxiety.

Anxiety may worsen stress and vice versa. Smoking, drug, and alcohol misuse may worsen anxiety when you're uptight. Stress and worry may cause stomachaches, headaches, dry mouth, dizziness, and perspiration.
