Especially considering the fact that strong anxiety manifests itself resembling an illness in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we\u2019ll help you figure out how to differentiate whether you\u2019re sick with the virus or anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are people with a low anxiety threshold. Any and all external factors affect them more than others. As you may know, there are different types of microphones You needs to speak really, really close to some of them so that you can be heard well, and the others are hypersensitive, can pick up even a slight rustle. It\u2019s the same here. Restless people pick up the vibrations in the world around them and begin to \u201cvibrate\u201d themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panic builds up and develops, and a person is gradually enveloped in fear, a sense of impending threat, and ominous feelings more and more. All of that starts to resemble a blizzard and a storm, where it\u2019s white everywhere, the snow whirls and merges into a dense canvas, you can\u2019t see anything. The ability to think properly declines. Thoughts are jumping around like a cat in the night, they either can\u2019t be structured, or they can, but not for long; scary fantasies prevail in your head about how bad it is, that we\u2019ll all die (well, even if not all, then me or my relatives for certain &#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every action of a person caught in a snowstorm of anxiety is aimed at reducing it. And they are more reminiscent of rituals: you must definitely do this, otherwise everything\u2019s over. Handwashing isn\u2019t done to stay clean, but rather to be less scared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule, actions taken under the influence of uncontrollable anxiety are very chaotic and illogical. For example, everyone knows the story of &#171;the buckwheat boom&#187; Why buy 15 packs of this particular porridge, and not a variety of cereals? Because the brain can\u2019t think logically in this state. It\u2019s not really \u201cturning the wheels\u201d at all, but rather, it\u2019s sending signals to undertake stereotypical, cliched actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the field of health and well-being, a rebellious person will exhibit exactly the same chaotic, illogical patterns. Moreover, it may seem to him that he\u2019s acting exclusively within the realms of self-care. It\u2019s no big deal to, say, measure the temperature 5 times per hour, take a drive to get a CT scan of the lungs with no cough, and if they didn\u2019t find anything there, then an MRI just in case. Well, if there are no means or opportunities for multiple diagnostic tests, then the \u201chold your breath for 10 seconds\u201d which is all over the Internet, peruse of scientific articles and so on. The point of all these actions is to reduce the internal commotion. It\u2019s not about self-care or feeling better \u2013 it\u2019s about making yourself stop shaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color\" href=\"http:\/\/onelink.to\/7w9cpv\" style=\"color:#408ac4;border-radius:50px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download: <strong>Mindspa<\/strong> &#8212; 4UR mental wellbeing<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it easier for you to navigate, here are the criteria that you can \u201capply\u201d to yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care<\/strong> = paying attention to the symptoms.<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = SEEKING OUT corporeal reactions and interpreting any of them as a harbinger of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care <\/strong>= I want to get better<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = I\u2019m terminally ill\/I\u2019m about to get sick\/I\u2019m certainly going to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care <\/strong>= mitigating the risk.<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = attempts to fully isolate myself from the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care <\/strong>= I\u2019m doing a lot for me, but I can\u2019t be responsible for everything.<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = I have everything under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care<\/strong> = I have such and such symptoms.<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = I have a terrible disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health care <\/strong>= I\u2019m treating my symptoms.<br><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> = I\u2019m about to battle death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are we telling you all this? To give you an opportunity to evaluate how much anxiety you have. Indeed, the further action plan depends on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you come to the conclusion that severe anxiety and manifestations of hypochondriacal tendencies are your issue, let&#8217;s now deal with the symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve said above, hyper-excitement affects your physical state. Simply put \u2013 yes, because of anxiety, you can hurt, itch, press, you can feel sick and a lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, since our today&#8217;s article is about &#171;Doctor, I definitely have the coronavirus,&#187; we will dwell in more detail on anxiety markers similar to respiratory virus infections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>respiratory failure (difficulty breathing, a lump in the throat, heaviness in the chest and lungs);<\/li><li>heart palpitations (more often, as if louder), a feeling of pressure in the heart, pain;<\/li><li>coughing;<\/li><li>sore throat and feeling that it is about to ache;<\/li><li>a slight increase in body temperature;<\/li><li>impression that there is temperature, but it is not;<\/li><li>muscle tension.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out that there\u2019s ambiguity. Symptoms can either be the virus or another type of flu, a cold, or severe anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Variability is one of the most important tools in dealing with anxiety conditions. For in a fit of panic we lose it, we see only one \u201cversion\u201d. As more of them appear, the intensity decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suppose that you now have a reasonable question: okay, but how to distinguish the signs of the disease from internal fluctuations? Shall I just dismiss myself as an alarmist and take motherwort at a temperature of 38 degrees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the signs of intense anxiety aren\u2019t specific. It usually sounds like \u201cin the region of the heart\u201d, \u201cin the region of the chest\u201d, \u201cI don\u2019t feel good\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the manifestations of the virus are developing and clear: cough, fever, chills, ache in the body, sore throat, running nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, in the case of anxiety, a person LOOKS for the signs of an ailment (do I have one, or how about this one). In case of the disease, you don\u2019t have to look, all the signals are in full view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, the symptoms of anxiety go away or become easier after exercising to reduce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of the virus on the other hand don\u2019t go away, whether or not you do belly breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what do you do when you recognize yourself in the description of a hyper-anxious person, and the shadow of the coronavirus is flashing here and there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Focus your attention on the symptoms rather than seeking them.<\/li><li>Analyze the indicators \u2013 how specific they are.<\/li><li>Closely monitor when they appear. If it\u2019s after reading the news, watching TV, then check again with the help of exercises to reduce anxiety.<\/li><li>Observe what happens with symptoms after taking anti-anxiety measures (breathing, exercises to reduce anxiety). If the anxiety is reduced even by a small margin, it means that there is a possibility that anxiety is most likely the issue.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color\" href=\"http:\/\/onelink.to\/7w9cpv\" style=\"color:#1389de;border-radius:50px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free psychological support course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And, just in case, we\u2019ll also clarify: if you have a high fever, are coughing badly, have shortness of breath and other clear and strong indicators of a respiratory virus infection, please consult a doctor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find the exercises for removing anxiety in the Psychosutra section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care of yourself!<br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember the joke about opening a medical directory and finding that you have all the ailments?
