I've been dealing with some anxiety issues and I've noticed a habit of mine that's been concerning me. I tend to shake both my legs when I'm sitting cross-legged, and I can't help but wonder if it's causing me harm. After I'm done with the shaking, I sometimes start to sweat and feel pretty tired. Should I be worried about how this might be affecting my heart or maybe my overall health?

I've been experiencing this weird thing for the past four months. Every time the phone rings, I get so scared, and my heart starts racing really fast. It's freaking me out a bit. Could this be something serious, or is it just stress?

Your reaction to sudden stimuli like a phone ringing, causing your heart to beat rapidly, suggests heightened anxiety or a heightened startle response. This can be a common symptom of anxiety disorders. Addressing this requires a comprehensive approach that might include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to manage anxiety, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with effective strategies to manage these symptoms and reduce your overall anxiety.
