Anxiety

Sometimes anxiety can be related to the presence of a medical condition, such as heart disease, hyperthyroidism (an over active thyroid gland), and chronic lung disease.

You will probably need the help of your primary care physician to figure out if you have a medical problem that needs attention.

Do you have or might you have developed a medical illness at the time your anxiety began? Do you think your anxiety is related to developing a new medical condition?

Yes, I think this is possible.

No, this is unlikely.
