https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/anxiety-after-taking-antibiotics Floxies and AnxietySymptoms of anxiety are more common in floxies, especially for those at an advanced stage. Anxiety in floxies is largely driven by the autonomic nervous system (ANS).The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary muscle, heart, and gland actions in humans. It comprises the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.Most body functions like digestion and breathing are controlled by these components of our nervous system. When it comes to floxies, both components of the ANS perform specific acts to either suppress or amplify anxiety symptoms. Check out how they both operate below:Sympathetic nervous systemThe sympathetic nervous system of floxies prepares their body to avoid danger or fight back some symptoms and responses. These responses are commonly referred to as the “fight-or-flight” reaction. Most stages of anxiety in floxies involve the following activity:- Increase in blood pressure- Blood flow increase to the muscle, lung and essential areas to facilitate movement from perceived danger- Decreased blood flow to the reproductive and digestive systems- Activated stress hormones and neurotransmitters to support physical responses- Quick-release of glucose to aid necessary processing of energyThe unique nature of some floxies makes it unlikely that every patient will experience all actions in the above format. Some may experience one or two actions, while others may not have to deal with any of them.
