1. IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT - you can feel your
heart pounding. Or maybe you're aware that
your heart is beating really fast. You may be
terrified that you're having or have had a
heart attack.

2. TENSED / PAINFUL MUSCLES
No wonder... they're working overtime without you being consciously aware of it. They're at the ready to help you run away from the (imagined) disaster, constantly in
fight/flight mode.

3. CLAMMY HANDS AND ARMPITS
Your body works hard to cool you down. You're worried about having to shake hands and other people noticing how much you're sweating.

4. DIZZINESS AND LIGHTHEADEDNESS
Your blood is drawn to the major muscle groups to ensure they're well-fed and can deal with the (imagined) catastrophe.

5. TREMBLING...
...or shaking
You may feel these are the most embarrassing symptoms - you're convinced other people will notice

6. UPSET STOMACH AND BOWEL PROBLEMS
Your body/mind reacts as if your life's in danger.
Digestion is secondary to survival - your body wants to
get rid of whatever it doesn't immediately need.
Diarrhoea, frequently needing to urinate and nausea or
vomiting are normal under the circumstances.

7. EXHAUSTION All your energy is being used trying to manage or even just cope with this crisis - physically and mentally.

8. PAINS
Unexplained aches, pains, cramps and illness - your body/mind is out of balance. Existing health issues appear magnified. You may be convinced you're at death's door!

9. COUGHS AND COLDS
You seem to be catching every bug that's floating around. The prolonged stress is lowering your immunity.Flickr: Neil Williamson

10. Tensionheadaches...
… tight muscles, constant worry, stress and anxiety. Mind and body out of balance - you're feeling poorly most of the time.

11. RESTLESSNESS
you can't seem to sit still long enough to even draw a few long
breaths. You're in a constant state of agitation

12. SENSITIVE
HEARING
Normal sounds may feel too harsh, loud or shrill

Do have a medical checkup, if only to reassure you, just in case…
There are symptoms, though, for which you absolutely need medical help.
DO HAVE A MEDICAL CHECKUP
