So anxiety, can it hit you hard?
Of course it can.
And it impact anybody and everybody.
Um, but there are like lots of people out there, especially men who think it's
very masculine to not talk about their issues or their mental health and kind
of like brush it off and kind of, uh, I don't know, it shows a sign of weakness.
If you say that you have mental health issues for some people anyway, because
that's the kind of construct that society has dealt with and given us at the moment.
So I decided that it was important that we understand the issues that
men face when they're having anxiety attacks and the anxiety symptoms.
So I have put out five anxiety symptoms in men that you definitely need to know.
And, uh, yeah, let's stop right now guys.
The first one here is.
A racing heart.
Now, when adrenaline starts pumping on your body due to like increased
anxiety, your heart rate will actually start beating, uh, more rapidly.
So as it's like beaten more rapidly, you know, it's everything going on,
you're getting more kind of like how a breath and your heart's beating.
Roughly.
This is a very, very telltale sign that you're getting anxious.
So.
What would I say is that you have to watch out for this as an early
warning sign for being anxious.
You have to start being, you'll definitely know about it because you can feel it
in your chest, your heart start beating.
Right.
It's actually like, Ooh, it's definitely something to look out
for and nothing to be ashamed of.
You just need to kind of go, okay, well maybe I'm feeling a bit anxious right now.
My heart rate is increased.
You could also use an Apple watch or something like that to kind
of like track your heart rate, to see if it increases anywhere.
Good tip.
Okay.
Number two is excessive sweating.
Now, when you're like, you know, pumping adrenaline on your body
and your heart racing, of course, you're going to start sweating.
That's why when you work out, isn't it, your heart rate increases and you sweat.
So if you are sweating quite a lot and sweating excessively, this is an
indication that you are online, that heading straight for an anxiety attack
and anxiety is creeping up on you.
Cause you got about, you know, your heart rate.
Beating out your chest and you start sweating, um, your sweat, your palms.
You're like, Oh my goodness.
You know, this is something that happens when you're feeling agitated
and when you're feeling anxious.
So bear that in mind.
Okay.
So number three is muscle tension.
Now muscle tension happens because your body's going to fight or flight
mode, which means that it thinks that it needs to kind of tense up
and gets you into fight something.
And then you, um, you need to kind of, uh, Go running from danger or whatever.
Right.
And that's sort of fight or flight thing for, because adrenaline gets released into
your body and then that's what happens.
But, um, your muscles will start tensing up.
But of course, if you're just like walking around the shop and you get
an anxiety attack and your body thinks you're going to fight a saber tooth
tiger, and you've already started tenting up, you'll feel your muscles
just kind of getting all tense.
And it's a, yeah, it's not a good feeling.
You're not tense.
Lasts a long, long time actually, after, after the panic attack
happens, you'll be feeling sore from it as if you'd just done a workout.
Number four, here is restlessness or agitation.
Now due to the male dominance of testosterone, agitation will be a
prominent experience when you're experiencing anxiety, which means
that you'll be quite tense and, and snappy and agitated and everything
will become fight or flight because that's, what's happening.
You're experiencing a mode that is there to protect you against saber
tooth tigers or glaciers or whatever.
And so, uh, We, you know, you're walking into a store and something happens
and it's like, well, why is there a fight or flight happening in a store?
Because we're now triggered by involuntary actions that will cause us anxiety
and causes, fear and causes to have all of these things coming into play.
But bear in mind, these are all symptoms of anxiety and
the potential anxiety attack.
So number five is the dizziness and vertigo.
So after having a rush of adrenaline around your body and the fight
or flight thing coming in.
Your brain will start to kind of be like, Whoa, it needs a bit of air in a very
space and you'll maybe become dizzy and have a bit of vertigo and not be able
to focus on what you're doing because your body's should come through like a
workout, like a marathon, if you will.
You know, it just done all of this stuff.
It just worked itself up because at the end of the day, you would.
Potentially fighting for your life in your body's response to stuff.
So these five symptoms are your best way of understanding your body
and your best way of understanding.
Hey, do I have an anxiety issue?
Do I have an anxiety attack going on?
This is how you deal with it.
That's, that's what it is.
You know, you, you have to listen to your body, you have to listen to what happens.
So, um, you know, if you're a guy you're watching this or you're a
partner and you know, your partner is a guy and you're kind of watching this.
Watch out for these symptoms and definitely just kind of take it easy.
