If your body feels tight, restless, or on edge — even when nothing’s “wrong” — it may be helpful to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
Understand physical signs of anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t always start in the mind — sometimes it shows up in the body first. A racing heart, tight chest, shaky hands, or a constant sense of agitation may be your nervous system reacting to stress, even without a clear reason. These signs can become part of daily life so gradually that they start to feel normal. A self-assessment tool can’t diagnose you, but it may help you recognize patterns and reflect on what your body might be trying to say. Listening inward can be a supportive step toward feeling more grounded.
