Transcript
00:00Anxiety for most people is a constant state and there are a lot of different
00:04anxiety disorders rethink about anxiety we sort of put them in one bucket but
00:08the reality is there are several types including panic disorder OCD you know
00:14there are different types of this of anxiety but most of all what we're
00:19dealing with right now is generalized anxiety and that anxiety has us all over
00:25the place because it's a what if what if something happens what's gonna happen if
00:29I don't have a job what happens if they don't make any more toilet paper what
00:33happens if there's no more paper towels on this and what happens is and I'm gonna
00:39bring the physical into it in a second what happens is with anxiety we're
00:44dealing with a lot of what ifs we're we're dealing with what happened and what
00:49may happen and we haven't we don't live in the present and then as a result of
00:54that we stress ourselves up we get blood high blood pressure where sometimes we
00:58overeat and I wonder how many people out there are overeating the leasing's last
01:03two weeks but we do we overeat we do the wrong things that we don't exercise we
01:08don't take care of ourselves so then the physical becomes in play when people have
01:13a panic attack that's a little different a little more serious and just you know
01:18general anxiety because stress and anxiety is a normal part of life we're over
01:23the top right now but when people start having panic attacks it becomes very
01:28serious because a lot of their symptoms mimic a heart attack they mimic other
01:33physical symptoms so you have the sweating you have those sweaty palms you
01:38have them breathing can't catch your breath you have all kinds of physical
01:43physical symptoms that may you say you know am I having a heart attack am I
01:48having a certain what's going on so we have to rule out the physical right must
01:52rule out the physical
