Other indicators may include restlessness or feeling on edge, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disorders.

• These conditions can cause various physical symptoms such as headaches, digestive problems, shortness of breath, palpitations, and unexplained aches and pains.
