Then during the day, I get so tired and worn out.” She complains of sweating and flushing, as well as cold, clammy hands and a dry mouth. Maria has developed anxiety-related gastrointestinal issues or irritable bowel syndrome. “I am on edge all the time. No, I don’t have panic attacks, just this constant nagging worry that bothers me.” She complains of muscle tension, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, as well as her other symptoms.
