Symptoms of anxiety could be confused with physical illness; for example: becoming worried that you might be suffering a [[heart attack]] or [[stroke]] could increases anxiety. We all become anxious from time to time. It becomes a problem when it interferes with life in the absence of real threat, or goes on too long after the danger has past. Avoiding situations that make you anxious might help you feel better in the short term. The trouble is when the anxiety keeps returning, and has a habit of spreading to other situations. This could lead to you avoiding things like shops, crowded places, lectures or tutorials. So although avoidance makes you feel better, that relief is only temporary and sometimes you may worry about what will happen next time. Every time you avoid something it could be harder next time you try to face it. Gradually you could want to avoid more and more things. [[Ibidem]]
