Can agoraphobia cause high blood
pressure, ulcers, or migraines?
No. Agoraphobia does not cause stress-related physical
illnesses.
However, research shows that people who
suffer from agoraphobia are more likely to suffer from high
blood pressure, ulcers, or migraines - in some cases before
the onset of or after recovery from agoraphobia.
That's because agoraphobia and stress related physical
illnesses are both manifestations come from the same cause -
a sense of underlying anxiety.
It's possible to get free from
agoraphobia symptoms but develop another stress-related
illness. That's why it is important to take care of the
underlying anxiety during recovery from agoraphobia and not
just find a way to mask or relieve symptoms.
Taking care of the root cause of
agoraphobia will save you from just trading your anxiety
disorder for a physical one.
