Anxiety, is what you fear real?

The anxiety state, is a sense of exagerated apprehension, a sense fear, often from obtuse physical or mentally induced threats, are not rare. In nature the alert animal on sensing a threat will run away or fight. We infer that in nature a physical threat emotes fear or anger. If, for example, a camper is awakened by a bear peering into the tent, we expect an immediate reaction of fight or flight. (Though immobilization from fright could occur) The reaction to fear and anger generates a release of adrenaline by the sympathetic nervous system.

The described situation, anxiety, equates to a stronger, faster heart beat, and, for humans, awareness of the heart beat, and palpitations may occur, along with sweating and tremulousness and apprehension. Additionally, rapid shallow breathing and paradoxical air hunger and overbreathing may occur. The overbreathing causes a respiratory alkalotic tetany, with possible tingling in the fingers and chest tightness. Giddiness may coincide. Breathing into a paper bag ameliorates the acid-base imbalance from the carbon dioxide blow-off. When the above described signs and symptoms occur without the presence of a physical threat, it is called a panic attack. Generally the apprehensive state is much more moderate. And, along with fear and anger, other similitudes for unresolved tension sustainments are worry, guilt, dissatisfaction, frustration and indecision. Even in the scripture is there a warning against harbouring some of these. And, whereas in nature the flight or fight situation is usually resolved within a short time, we here, are concerned with unresolved ongoing anxiety. Sometimes our unresolved tensions are repressed and become subliminal. Let us consider then, that I (we) might have a propensity to substitue a pleasurable act for an unresolved conflict. Thus, in the situations of being overweight, of excessive alcoholic intake, of smoking, are situations for which it may benefit to look below the emotional surface to understand why you do as you do?

Chronic apprehension has its carry-overs. An increase of the blood pressure, peptic ulcer, and headache, overeating, smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction, all are impaled by it. In our daily sojourn we all deal with matters of greater or lesser concern. The term 'anxiety' is generally deemed too strong for the lesser daily concerns, but, consider, whether a concern is small or big, it is useful to try to use this adage; "Accept the things you cannot change, and do what you can with what you can change."
