Illnesses That Can Cause Anxiety
Anxiety DisorderAlthough it is normal to feel anxious at times when facing a stressful situation, sufferers of an anxiety disorder may feel constant tension, worry and fear that interfere with relationships, school and work. They may experience a sense of looming dread, be plagued by unrealistic fears and avoid everyday situations that provoke anxiety. Physical symptoms of anxiety accompany these thoughts and feelings. Obsessive compulsive disorder, general anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, phobias and social anxiety disorder are all types of anxiety disorders. A medical professional should be consulted for signs of an anxiety disorder.
HyperthyroidismAn overactive thyroid gland, or hyperthyroidism, can cause symptoms of anxiety. Hyperthyroidism causes the overproduction of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, resulting in an accelerated metabolic rate that causes weight loss even though appetite may increase, difficulty sleeping, rapid pulse, frequent bowel movements, inability to tolerate heat, shaking and anxiety, according to Merck Manuals Online Medical Library, Professional Edition. It is rare for hyperthyroidism to cause anxiety without other symptoms. Treatment of hyperthyroidism depends on the cause, and may include antithyroid medications, iodine, radioactive iodine and surgery.
CancerCancer of any type is a serious illness that commonly causes anxiety, depression and fear. Fear of death, changes in work or family roles, fear of suffering and pain, and loss of control affect emotional health,[url=http://www.sport.fr/economie/airmax.html]air max pas cher[/url], the American Cancer Society explains. Angry outbursts, irritability and uncontrolled worry can occur, affecting family members as well as the patient. The American Cancer Society advises friends and family to share feelings and fears, and to offer support and not discount a patient's worries. Support groups, counseling, and antianxiety or antidepressant medications can help alleviate anxiety. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
