• Sweating
• Shortness of breath
• Feeling weak or tired

Anxiety can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, and life events. Common causes of anxiety include:

Diagnosing Anxiety

If you think you may have an anxiety disorder, it is important to seek professional help. Your doctor can help you determine if your symptoms are related to anxiety or another medical condition.
