Anxiety has many surprising symptoms and although most people think that anxiety is a purely emotional disorder, the symptoms actually do extend to the body. People who suffer from anxiety experience things like twitches, dizziness, vomiting and other physical reactions. Anxiety also creates a strange odor in a person’s body. People often complain of a metallic smell when they feel anxious, and on the opposite side of the spectrum, they also say that they emit a strange odor. This is one of the more confusing symptoms of anxiety because most people do not connect the feeling of anxiety with the sense of smell or even body odor. However, the weird smell and this strange odor come from the body’s response to anxiety.
Some doctors attribute the strange odor with excessive sweating, which is also a symptom of anxiety. But as some people complained of emitting a strange odor even without perspiring, doctors have been looking for another cause for the odor. All signs point to body toxicity as the culprit. Research has shown that people with high levels of body toxicity are more susceptible to anxiety, and this is the cause of many symptoms including headaches, depression, allergies, excess mucus, and strange odor. The body toxicity itself comes from being exposed to too much chemicals, whether it is from the environment or the anxiety foods you eat. The chemicals make your body more sensitive to anxiety, and then they cause the symptoms like strange body odor.
The smell that most people experiences when they have anxiety can also be attributed to biology and toxicity. As we get anxious, our body produces more adrenalin and it courses through our system. That adrenalin accounts for the metallic taste that comes to someone’s tongue and also the metallic smell that is experienced.
So both the odor that is produced and the smell that is experienced when a person is panicking are due to body toxicity and anxiety. The anxiety causes curious and often puzzling symptoms that can’t be easily cured. Some people take medication, but usually it’s a good idea to treat the root cause rather than the symptoms.
