NOTE: It's wise to discuss all new, changing, and persistent
symptoms with your doctor to ensure that they are not being
caused by some other medical condition, since there are many
medical conditions that can cause anxiety- and stress-like
symptoms. If your doctor has attributed your symptoms to stress
and anxiety, you can feel confident that your doctor's diagnosis
is correct. If you aren't confident in your doctor's assessment,
you may want to seek a second and even third opinion. This
way, you can feel confident that nothing more serious is causing
your symptoms.
Anxiety
symptoms can range in number, intensity, and frequency,
with each person experiencing their unique set of anxiety
symptoms .
