Rehab Educates on How to stop Anxiety Shaking

Georgetown, DE - SUN Behavioral Health Delaware, a local rehab facility, recently published a blog post educating the community on how to stop anxiety shakes. Anxiety is a natural human instinct that protects the body from potential dangers, also known as fight or flight. However, there is a difference between healthy levels of anxiety and high levels. When anxiety becomes too much, it can be challenging for some people to control the response. If someone is feeling anxious, they may experience things like shaking, nausea, and headaches.

“Shaking or tremors from anxiety aren’t just inconvenient. They can prevent sleep, relaxation, and comfort. If they go untreated, you may feel tired more often because of the energy your body is expelling. It might also become hard to concentrate on things like work. Lastly, if the tremors get severe enough, they might prevent you from doing things you love, like cooking, painting, and more. Tremors can also make anxiety worse because it’s impossible to feel calm when you’re experiencing them,” the blog post states.

The symptoms associated with anxiety are part of the nervous system. They can include vision changes, dry mouth, a racing heart, and muscle tension. It may also create an adrenaline spike, sweating, and breathing changes in some people. For many people, these symptoms can also include shaking. This can lead many people to wonder how they can stop themselves from shaking when experiencing anxiety.

Ultimately, with anxiety treatment, many people can find it more manageable. Some lifestyle changes that people can implement will decrease anxiety and reduce the shaking they are experiencing. One of those is deep breathing techniques. Essentially, it helps tell the brain that it isn’t in danger. Breathing in for 5 seconds, holding the breath for 5 seconds, and letting out for 8 seconds is a great exercise to practice during anxious situations. Another exercise includes sensory meditation. This practice helps with grounding. It can look like noticing the space within one’s mouth or thinking about the heaviness of one’s legs.

Alongside these techniques, it is essential to maintain healthy habits. This includes regular exercise. It is recommended that 30 minutes a day can prevent anxiety shaking from happening. Also, remember to stay hydrated. Sometimes, dehydration can lead to shaking, so drinking throughout the day can reduce the tremors and decrease racing thoughts. Finally, maintaining enough sleep is non-negotiable when it comes to managing anxiety symptoms. Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night can allow the body to heal and recharge, reducing anxiety symptoms one might feel during the day.

“Shaking from anxiety doesn’t need to last forever. With proper treatment and management, physical symptoms like tremors can decrease or disappear. In some cases, medication can be prescribed to control tremors. Blood pressure medications like Propranolol can help in eliminating the ‘anxiety shakes,’” the blog post continues.
