Anxiety Shaking: Causes and Treatments

Panic attacks don’t always have a clear cause. When you have panic attacks due to a certain trigger, it’s called an expected panic attack. That means they’re somewhat predictable. The symptoms of a panic attack can be seen and identified by someone else, while the symptoms of anxiety take place mostly in your mind, and may be harder to spot.

• difficulty concentrating on anything besides anxious thoughts
• fatigue and muscle ache
• headache or migraine
• nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
• rapid breathing
• excessive sweating
• feeling tense, irritable, and “on edge”

• Progressive muscle relaxation . This technique focuses on contracting, then releasing different muscle groups. It can be done in tandem with deep breathing. The goal in practicing this technique is to get your body to relax. This can stop you from trembling.
• Yoga poses. The child’s pose and sunrise salutations can help you regulate your breathing and bring calm back to your body. Regular yoga practice has been shown to reduce anxiety symptoms.
• Mindfulness exercises . Exercises that incorporate meditation can also help stop you from shaking.
