Anxiety itself can cause real physical feelings: a racing heartbeat, headaches, a tight chest, an upset stomach. The NHS points out that these can be mistaken for signs of illness. The feelings are real. The cause may be anxiety, though only a doctor can tell you which. This is why a slow, kind attention to the body can help. Today, move through your body without hunting for a problem. Notice sensations, name them as simply as you can, and let them be. Treat it as listening, not inspecting. If something new or strange shows up, that is a reason to see a doctor, not to scan harder.
Practice

This program does not replace medical care. Any new, changing or worrying physical symptom needs to be seen by a doctor first, even if you think it might be anxiety. If health worries are taking over your day, work, sleep or money, please talk to a doctor, psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
