  Posture and Anxiety

Most people neglect correct posture and on the whole never experience any negative effects until quite late in life, back ache and neck pain being the most common of these. If a person with anxiety also suffers with incorrect posture this can have a profound effect on the level of anxiety symptoms.
  Smoking

Smoking can cause blood sugar fluctuations but also bodily changes caused by its stimulant effect. Smoking cessation is also not advisable during times of high anxiety, adding nicotine withdrawal to the anxiety you are experiencing could be very counter-productive indeed. If you smoke regularly, minimise the daily amount, if you smoke occasionally, stop completely if you feel you can do so with ease.

Many people find that wine is the worst culprit and that during times of high anxiety and stress, it causes much more pronounced symptoms, but every alcoholic drink can cause similar effects.
