Your brain thinks there's a danger.
Your caveman instincts tell you you need to run or smack it with a club.
Your body is flushed with chemicals from your brain which tell it to prepare for physical activity (running or fighting)
In the 21st century our fears are rarely solved this way, and these bodily changes stay on our system without release which has a number of consequences.

This process explains most anxiety symptoms - high heart rate, palps, muscle pain, twitches, blurred vision, a bad stomach, tingles... etc, etc, etc.
