Hidden medical conditions that can cause anxiety

Did you know that underlying medical issues can sometimes cause anxiety or make it worse?

I take a holistic approach to anxiety which means paying close attention to potential imbalances in the body, mind, soul, spirit, and external stressors.

When something is out of alignment within you or within the environment you interact in, these can create vulnerabilities in your life where unnecessary and excess anxiety can creep in.

There are many underlying medical conditions that can cause or exacerbate your anxiety. I’ve listed some of the most common in this reel.

You may want to get a medical evaluation and labs drawn to rule out medical causes for your anxiety if:

✔️ Your anxiety started as an adult and you don’t have significant history with it previously.

✔️ Your anxiety doesn’t seem to have any trigger or cause attached to it.

✔️ You haven’t had any major life changes recently.

✔️ Seems to occur only at certain times during your menstrual cycle or has an onset around peri-menopause or menopause.

It’s also important to note that certain medications can cause anxiety as a side effect so educate yourself on what you’re taking as well.
