A craving for a drug may manifest in which of the following symptoms?

  1. Nausea and headaches

  2. Water running from nose or eyes, frequent yawning or sneezing, and continual itching of arms and legs

  3. Changes in appetite and sleep patterns

  4. Shortness of breath and coughing

The correct answer is: Water running from nose or eyes, frequent yawning or sneezing, and continual itching of arms and legs

The correct choice highlights specific physical symptoms that align with the withdrawal or craving for certain drugs, particularly opioids or narcotics. Individuals experiencing a drug craving may exhibit symptoms that are psychosomatic in nature, including the involvement of the autonomic nervous system. Symptoms such as water running from the nose or eyes (commonly referred to as rhinorrhea), frequent yawning, sneezing, and itching are often seen in cases of opioid withdrawal. These manifestations indicate a physiological response to the absence of the drug, reflecting how the body is reacting to the craving and withdrawal symptoms. The other choices outline symptoms that could relate to different conditions or drug effects but do not specifically capture the unique set of physical responses associated with craving. Nausea and headaches, for instance, can be attributed to a wide range of health issues, including stress or other illnesses. Changes in appetite and sleep patterns can suggest various mental health conditions and are less specific to drug craving. Lastly, shortness of breath and coughing generally indicate respiratory issues rather than the physical cravings linked to substance dependence.
