What Causes Severe Anxiety?

I am experiencing intense feelings of anxiety quite different from the past year since my husband’s death. It has been a difficult time for me but I’ve managed well without meds. Last wk was the one yr anniversary of his death. Tomorrow I leave for a 10day trip to Switzerland and Italy with a tour group with whom we frequently traveled. I am taking my 17yr old granddaughter with me. We both are excited about going. I can’t see a correlation between these feelings and the trip. The only other symptom I have is increased frequency in in urination. Only once last night did I experience an inability to urinate accompanied by a mild pain. No problems since. I’m running out of time to see my doctor before I leave. Should I be concerned?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Excitement of the Switzerland trip and frequent urination is so common and you should not worry about it too much. Anxiety too has its effect about it. But in your case, you are complaining about mild pain which needs to be discussed with your doctor. Please do consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
