About Morning Anxiety
Waking up to a racing heart and a knot in your stomach can overshadow the start of any day. If you regularly experience this "morning anxiety," you're not alone. Recognizing this common symptom is the first step toward finding relief. Thankfully, various affordable treatment options and strategies exist to help you reclaim your mornings and start your day with peace.
What Causes Morning Anxiety?
That uncomfortable feeling of dread or unease upon waking, often accompanied by physical symptoms like a racing heart, nausea, or shortness of breath, is known as morning anxiety. Several factors contribute to its unwelcome arrival. Physiologically, our bodies naturally release cortisol, the "stress hormone," in the early morning hours to help us wake up. For some, this surge can be exaggerated, leading to heightened anxiety. Fluctuating blood sugar levels overnight can also play a role.
