You Can Overcome Anxiety

anxiety is a natural emotion that strikes one and all at sometime or the other in life. I am no exception. But I am writing this article to assure you that you could also overcome anxiety just like I did. There was a time when I used to suddenly feel the following symptoms:

Sudden palpitations
Perspiration or profuse sweating
Dry mouth
Trembling of hands and feet
Tightness in the chest
Dizziness
Blurred vision

Do you recognize these symptoms? Of course! They are symptoms of sudden anxiety that creeps in uninvited at wrong times and wrong places. It takes hold of you and makes you feel incapacitated to anything. But that is all in the past, in my case.

I wanted to take control of my anxiety. So I started reading a lot about anxiety. I read about why we get anxious, common symptoms and treatments, etc. Symptoms are all too common but treatments vary for anxiety.

Do you know all your anxiety and other sicknesses start in the mind?

First of all you need to be aware that you have a problem of getting anxious easily for no good reason.

You feel nervous and sick when you stop thinking calmly and start imagining wildly! It is a fact. When you think you have a problem, irrespective of the reality, you start nurturing negative thoughts. Your mind is only too happy to feed on such thoughts and helps you picture unwanted scenarios. When your mind does this, your nerves do their part to react to such ideas or imaginations. Due to this mental drama, you start getting anxious about the whole situation. In 99 percent of cases this is how anxiety occurs.

I started to watch my mind - after repeated anxiety attacks and learning that I have to face it, I started paying more attention to myself. If I felt a bit uneasy about something I would just drink a glass of water and sit for a while. I would feel butterflies dancing in my stomach. But I would not move. Instead I would just watch my mind to see what it is thinking. many might just laugh at this admission. But, try it and you would find an amazing discovery about your fears and causes for your anxiety.

I learned a few positive affirmations to make my mind strong - Whenever you get negative thoughts, tell yourself that you would not entertain such thoughts. Instead learn to think positively. Repeat positive affirmations and they do you a world of good.

While medications might give you temporary relief, your efforts at being calm would help you find the exact reasons and you could clearly see how you create your own anxiety and tension. Along with your medication, whatever you are taking now, it is also good to practice yoga or meditation. They helps you to stay calm and keep your nerves calm too. There are many books and online information available.

Act smart and help yourself beat back your anxiety. You control your thoughts by controlling your mind. You could definitely live a life free of anxiety attacks.

I love to read books and write about useful information to others. I have been a ghost writer for the past two years. I strongly feel that writing is a satisfying job and a healthy hobby.

Monitor Symptoms of Colon Cancer

Colon cancer often exhibits the same symptoms as other colon conditions. Crohns disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, and peptic ulcer disease show the same symptoms of colon cancer: red or dark blood in stools, changes in bowel habits, narrow stools, diarrhea or constipation, unexplainable weight loss, abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, and anemia. In order to observe your symptoms better, it is also important to read up on other colon diseases.

The disease can be present for many years before symptoms of colon cancer even show. This is why the best thing to do to watch out for colon cancer is to undergo regular screenings, preferably those that entail fecal blood testing and colonoscopy.

Symptoms of colon cancer vary according to where the tumor is located. Because the right colon is spacious, tumors in the right colon can grow to large sizes before they even cause symptoms of colon cancer. As tumors have a tendency to bleed, cancers on the right colon cause iron deficiency anemia because of the slow, unnoticed loss of blood over a long period of time. It is all the more unnoticeable because the stool travels through the colon longer, so whatever blood is in the stool dries up and even becomes invisible. Iron deficiency anemia, in turn, results in fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath for patients.

On the other hand, the left colon is narrower than the right colon. Cancers of the left colon are more likely to cause partial or complete bowel obstruction. This type of cancer causes the following symptoms of colon cancer: diarrhea, constipation, narrow stools, abdominal pains, cramps, and bloating. If there is bright red blood in the stool, this can also mean that there is a cancerous growth near the end of the left colon or the rectum. Go and see your doctor if you develop any of the following symptoms of colon cancer mentioned above. However, dont panic just yet. As mentioned, some of the symptoms can be indicative of another colon disease altogether. For example, while blood in your stool may be one of the symptoms of colon cancer, it may also come from hemorrhoids or minor tears in your anus. If you are constipated as a result of not drinking enough water and not taking in sufficient fiber, tough stools may scratch your rectal wall.

Additionally, certain foods, such as beets and red licorice, can cause your stools to turn red, while iron supplements and some anti-diarrhea medications often make stools black. However, it is still a good idea to visit your doctor at any sign of blood or other changes in your stools and bowel movement. after all, early detection based on symptoms of colon cancer usually result in complete cures.

Below is a complete list of the top symptoms of colon cancer. It will do no harm to visit your doctor as soon as you feel two or more of the following:

* Major change in your toilet habits, whether you move your bowels more or less
* Blood in your fecal matter, bright red or dried
* Stools that are thinner than usual
* Unexplainable dramatic weight loss
* stomach pains, cramping or bloating
* Unexplainable fatigue
* Always feeling like you need to move your bowels
* Constant nausea and vomiting
* Iron deficiency anemia
* abdominal pain, which is a rare symptom of colon cancer, and may exhibit itself as mere tenderness in the abdomen.
