Anxiety takes a major toll on the body, so fatigue as a symptom of anxiety disorder shouldn’t be surprising, albeit it’s not what many people would assume is associated with it. According to clinical psychologist Dr. Joshua Klapow, “Anxiety drives our sympathetic nervous system into overdrive. It raises our heart rate, blood pressure, increases muscle tension, and releases toxins into our system that can cause inflammation. All of this can make you feel bad. We can feel fatigue and malaise strictly from being anxious.” Of course just because one feels fatigue doesn’t mean that they are suffering from anxiety disorder. But if they feel it along with other symptoms, it should always be checked out by a doctor to figure out if it is truly due to anxiety.
