Anxiety
Serving the Greater San Bernardino County Area including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Upland, CA
Anxiety is often confused with other mental issues, and even just being stressed. Also, momentary anxiousness is normal, especially leading up to important interviews, when waiting for test results, and other significant occasions.
However, none of the above is actually anxiety. Anxiety is when you feel fear about worst-case scenarios, even when there isn’t any reason for it.
At Recovery Lab of Rancho Cucamonga, we want to support your overall wellness and help you relax, so you can live your most fulfilling life.
Anxiety
- What Exactly Causes Anxiety?
Anxiety is caused by things like genetics, excessive or long-term stress, trauma, medical conditions like heart disease, and certain medications, just to name a few.
We also know it’s more likely to affect you if you’re naturally critical of yourself or struggle to deal with criticism from those you interact with.
Things like alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine may seem to provide temporary relief for some people, but your doctor may advise against them, as they can make anxiety worse in the long run.
- Can Exercise Help With Anxiety?
Exercise may help some people feel better and can be part of a healthy routine. We know how easy it is for you to isolate yourself if you have social anxiety, and this only encourages you to get stuck in your anxiety when you’re around people.
Therefore, whether you’re anxious about being around other people or about getting hurt by trying new things, something simple like exercising may be a great way to step outside your comfort zone!
Also, a quick reminder: exercising may help support your heart health, which is a great part of any wellness routine. Exercising may also boost your endorphins, which is obviously something you want.
- How Can Recovery Lab Help My Anxiety?
Many of our services may help you relax and unwind as part of your wellness routine. Our percussion therapy may be a great option for a little de-stressing, for example.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is designed to increase the oxygen available to your body, which some people find supports a sense of well-being. It may also help you feel a little more relaxed.
Meanwhile, our cryotherapy and red light therapy may support your overall wellness as part of a healthy routine.
A few of these services, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cryotherapy, are being studied for their potential connection to mental well-being, though research is still ongoing.
- What Are Other Things To Help Anxiety?
To start, you should avoid caffeine and the other things we mentioned that make anxiety worse. On the whole, many of the same things capable of lowering stress are also good ideas for anxiety, such as a relaxing hobby, good sleep patterns, and a healthy diet.
If your anxiety is bad enough to interfere with your life, you should always go to your doctor for help.
