你有没有被听到什么，“如果你不停止担心这么多，你打算给自己的溃疡”？或者，“你要给自己一个心脏发作与你有多着急得到的。”但是，这是真的吗？能否长期焦虑引发疾病或疾病？这实际上是不是这样一个简单的问题的答案。在这篇文章中，我们要听听专家们说还有什么是当前的研究显示约与否慢性压力和焦虑可能导致的健康问题的发展。
请问焦虑引起身体不适症状？
的确，压力和焦虑是通过躯体症状往往经历。我们可能会出汗，颤抖，还是觉得在我们的胸部密封性。其他焦虑躯体症状可包括但不限于：头痛，胃痛，头晕，腹泻，睡眠障碍，疲劳，呼吸急促，心脏搏动，和胸痛。对于那些谁经历恐慌，它可以感觉就像你有一个心脏发作或你正在死去。但是，这些身体反应和感觉不断发展成慢性医学状况或者疾病？我们将找到答案。
Can anxiety cause you to get a stomach ulcer?
如果你做一个搜索关于这个主题的文献，似乎专家们在对这个问题的答案分歧。例如，全国妇女的健康和信息中心指出，溃疡是由一种叫做细菌引起幽门螺旋杆菌and that stress does not cause ulcers but can make them worse. Yet other reports cite studies which implicate chronic anxiety in the direct cause of peptic ulcers. A 2003 issue ofPsychiatric Newsexplains that while most peptic ulcer patients have H. pylori, only a small percentage of people with this bacterium actually get an ulcer. This fact led researchers to look for the cause. In a study published in the 2003 November/December issue of心身医学, researchers did find a significant link between chronic anxiety and the development of peptic ulcers. They also found that the amount of worrying people do was correlated with their risk for peptic ulcers.
Although the experts may disagree on whether or not anxiety can induce the development of an ulcer, most would agree that anxiety may aggravate this condition.
焦虑可以引起心脏疾病？
再次，这是回答一个棘手的问题，因为有这么多的矛盾的答案中所引用的文献。答案，看来，在很大程度上取决于专家如何解释关于这个主题的研究成果。如果你看一下全国妇女健康信息中心网站，你会看到，他们列出心脏疾病，高血压，和不正常的心脏跳动的链接到长期的压力。有一些研究，这似乎验证了该建议的链接。一个荷兰的研究报道普通精神病学杂志档案found that generalized anxiety disorder was associated with a 74 percent increased risk of cardiovascular events. Specifically they found that anxiety disorders appear to increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and death in people who have heart disease.
我知道,对我个人来说,当你阅读results of such studies your mind blots out everything else and keys in on the word, "death" as related to anxiety. It can become a case where reading the research about anxiety can actually cause anxiety. This happened to one of our members who wrote in with a question about his concerns over reading such studies associating heart disease and death with anxiety. One of our Anxiety Connection experts, Richard G. Wirtz, Psy.D., wrote a response to this member which is a good reminder to us all when looking at any type of research:
"You have to look at the language carefully in order to be sure that "marginally" significant statistical differences are not being presented as if there is a terrible risk."
它似乎是某些研究使新闻标题比别人多，而这些都是用戏剧语言的人。以前被媒体解读这是明智的阅读实际研究的细节。
另一个相关点谈论焦虑和心脏疾病的时候是焦虑症状可以模仿心脏发作考虑。我们焦虑的专家理查德·沃茨，引用了他的回应鉴于超过三分之一谁去投诉的ER如胸痛的人都完全没有心脏问题的统计信息。沃茨的结论是：
“虽然没有疑问，长期高度焦虑有负面健康影响的焦虑发作和惊恐发作在原本健康的人不会导致死亡。”
这是安慰我们这些谁觉得好像我们可能快死的时候，我们有一个焦虑发作。这是好事，记住，本身并惊恐发作是不是会杀了我们。
让我们回到最初的问题：CAN慢性焦虑引起疾病？
在焦虑和医疗问题之间的关联文学的检查，如消化性溃疡或心脏疾病表明它是多么困难找到一个直接的回答这个问题。我可以列出与焦虑相关的许多其他疾病和疾病，但每个案件有专家之间的相似分歧。该研究主要表现焦虑症，但也很少是你要找到一个研究证明焦虑之间的关联是一个用于开发任何特定的医疗状况的直接原因。这是因为其他的因素在起作用，如遗传，环境因素，以及我们独特的生物化学。有很多人谁患有焦虑没有消化性溃疡，心脏疾病或其他病症谁。关于最佳答案人能给出这个问题的是，焦虑可能会增加你开发某些疾病或医疗疾病的风险。但焦虑仅仅是其中许多可以你的赔率为疾病的因素。
