Can anxiety cause 20 or more brain zaps each day?

If your doctor has attributed your brain zaps solely to anxiety, yes, anxiety-caused hyperstimulation can cause 20 or more brain zaps a day.

As long as the body is even slightly hyperstimulated, it can present symptoms of any type, number, combination, frequency, severity, and at any time., including 20 or more brain zaps each day.

Since brain zaps are common symptoms of stress, including anxiety-caused stress, we don’t have to worry about them. They will subside when we address our anxiety issues, reduce stress, and give the body sufficient time to recover.

If you have difficulty containing your worry about them, you might want to connect with one of our recommended therapists to help you learn and become proficient at the skill of containment.

Working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist is the most effective way to overcome anxiety disorder, hyperstimulation, and their symptoms.

Recovery Support

The Recovery Support area of our website contains thousands of pages of important self-help information to help individuals overcome anxiety disorder, hyperstimulation, and symptoms.

Due to the vast amount of information, including a private Discussion Forum, many of our Recovery Support members consider it their online recovery support group.

The combination of good self-help information and working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist, coach, or counselor is the most effective way to address anxiety and its many symptoms. Until the core causes of anxiety are addressed – which we call the underlying factors of anxiety – a struggle with anxiety unwellness can return again and again. Dealing with the underlying factors of anxiety is the best way to address problematic anxiety.
