Always feeling tense Unexplained anxiety a signal from your autonomic nervous system
Are you always feeling breathless, heart pounding at night, or easily irritable over trivial things? Often doctors find nothing wrong, leaving you frustrated. This tension and anxiety may be an SOS signal from your autonomic nervous system. Dalimchae Oriental Medicine Clinic helps restore autonomic balance, relieving tension in the brain and body for a comfortable daily life. ## Why am I always tense? Why anxiety rules the body While occasional anxiety is natural, persistent and uncontrollable anxiety can indicate generalized anxiety disorder. Many dismiss this as a mere psychological issue, but it is a clear warning signal from the autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate, respiration, digestion, and sleep. Excessive stress or irregular habits keep the sympathetic nervous system overly active, leading to chronic tension. Research shows Korean medicine treatments significantly improve clinical symptoms and quality of life for anxiety disorder patients (p \< 0.0001). ## Restoring autonomic balance Dalimchae Oriental Medicine Clinic focuses on correcting autonomic imbalance.
