Controlling physical symptoms can significantly reduce psychological anxiety symptoms as well. When you learn to manage palpitations, muscle tension, trembling, breathlessness, dizziness, etc., your fear of these sensations decreases. This can break the “physical sensation → fear → more anxiety → stronger physical sensation” cycle.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist to find out the root cause and further management.

Yes. Reducing physical anxiety symptoms can also reduce psychological anxiety and fear, but treating the underlying anxiety is important for lasting improvement.
