When you deal with anxiety, you’ve probably noticed that your bodily sensations and anxiety symptoms often get worse over time.

No, you’re not delusional. Even if your doctor ruled out other conditions and medical issues and told you it was just anxiety, you feeling like something is wrong with you is real.

I remember the days when my anxiety made my heart race and my stomach twist in knots. It felt like my body was betraying me. You probably experience similar symptoms. It’s because anxiety acts like a magnifying glass – it intensifies every symptom you focus on.

In this episode, I talk about this phenomenon and explain the role of the nervous system in anxiety. Tune in to learn why your body is acting like you’re having a heart attack, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or some other condition.

I’ll also share why your fight-or-flight response triggers these sensations and how you can desensitize your nervous system to regain control.
