Answer 1

I'm a speculator, not into biomechanics .. but I think our bodies are organic machines. Emotions are chemical reactions triggered by stimulus that has activated a reaction in our brains.... our nerve centre.

Emotional overload leads to shock. This is really just a chemical imbalance ~ the mind's failure to bring the balance of chemicals into equilibrium.

In a state of shock your mind neglects its other duties... heart beats slow and oxegen depletes.... the brain over-reacts... heart beat accellerates ... these additional stresses can cause organ failures.

During strenuous exercise your body burns food energy to support the activity. Stress also burns fuel in a similar way. During strenuous exercise your mind reacts by requiring food cells and this causes acid to build up in the stomach. Althetes in training often complain of training so hard that they feel sick. Guess what! Emotional anxiety does that too.

At times like that.. you ought to have a nice cup of tea and some home made scones with cream and jam. :)

Answer 2

I suffered from panic attacks that made me feel physically ill,
sometimes they made me feel as if I was losing my marbles or that I had a high fever, an ulcer, or a heart attack.

Sometimes they would happen when I was suffering from the flu, and those were the worst because they actually could make the flu seem like some rare deadly plague and worry me so much I'd wind up going to the hospital, only to find my anxiety was playing an expensive trick on me.

Later in life, I found out the source of my anxiety was a tiny heart murmur. I now use a yoga breathing technique to control my panic attacks and my racing heart. I'm finally free of murmur induced anxiety and enjoying much better health and finances.

Answer 3

Yes. I mean I dont know if scientifically your actually getting sick or if you just think your sick. When I was in high school, I sufffered from pretty severe anxiety. It got so bad I had to stop going to school for a short period of time. Now, Im over it and doing great, living a normal life. For me some of the physical symptoms where stomach aches, headaches, and feeling lathargic. When I was actually having an axiety attack I would feel hot, nauseous, suffer from shortness of breath, and not be able to concentrate. If your not getting any kind of treatment, I highly recommend it. Once I got over my anxiety, I realized how much time I wasted not making any personal progress.

Answer 4

Yes, emotional anxiety does make you feel terribly sick. It can manifest in several different ways physically. It can give you a headache, a stomach ache, or the jitters, and any number of other ways. If you are anxious enough that it manifests physically then you probably should see a doctor for it. There are many things doctors can do to help you over the rough times.

Answer 5

Yes it does, probably much more so than physical pain (which I am pretty good at blocking). The problem with anxiety is that often you don't really know the root of your anxiety or how to deal with it - especially within the context of a full and busy life. Hope you are well Moon. (((Hugs)))

Answer 6

It has happened to me Moon :) but the emotional anxiety will have to rocket sky high for that....It usually happens when I now or fear something might go terribly wrong with some of my best friends or family.
My best friend of many years died in January of lung cancer, and I slowly saw him deteriorate over about 3 years.
Dying in front of me so to speak, he was very brave and cheerful
the whole process long.
I tried to be, and believe I succeeded in cheering him up.
But I did dread visiting him sometimes and once came home
and physically threw up in the toilet because he was in a very
bad state after chemotherapy, and it just devastated me.

Answer 7

Definitely.
My hubby had terrible back spasms at one time.
We went to every kind of doctor imaginable with zero results. Dr's ended up wanting to just put him on pain meds.
I said "Hey quit your job and see how it goes"
He ended up doing just that and actually going to a job that was much more physically demanding, yet had little to no back problems.

I also had some major problems when I lived in North Carolina. I became allergic to things I was never allergic too and I was sick a lot. I hated NC. When I moved back to NM after some time I became my old self.
((Moon)) Have a great week!

Answer 8

Emotional anxiety does make you feel drained, in pain and you don't feel well at all :~) So basically unwell, yes !


I used to be depressed and I was always hurting physically,
never wanted to do anything, never in A good mood either!

Answer 9

Hi there, I just laugh about my past 3 years of panic now. I was not able to go anywhere without carrying xanax. Fear of having another attack was the most important subject of my days.When i first found joe barry's web site i started to cry because of my happiness.
