Have you tried therapy alongside medication? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be particularly effective for managing anxiety-related physical symptoms. Also, lifestyle changes like exercise, relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation), and a balanced diet can help.

Hi Fayaz,You don't have to worry. GAD can be treated with few psychotherapy sessions. I need to take your history to understand the triggers for the anxiety. Along with medication, I recommend you cognitive Behaviour Therapy. I am sure you can fight anxiety with professional help and can lead a healthy life.
