It's quite ironic that while people with an anxiety disorder are so attuned to all their bodily sensations, they can at the same time be completely disconnected from the cause of those sensations. For example, most people will experience light-headedness, nausea or headache if a meal is missed. Sometimes people with an anxiety disorder, especially if these symptoms have been experienced previously as part of their disorder; will interpret the symptoms from not eating as anxiety, rather than the body's distress due to hunger. Likewise, the symptoms of a fuzzy head and loss of concentration can be misinterpreted as anxiety, when repeated late nights or insufficient sleep could be the culprit. Exercise is well documented as a means of relieving stress and contributing to a feeling of well being. Paying attention to diet and daily habits can also point to any food allergies, addictions and patterns of behaviour which result in negative outcomes.
