First thing first. Consult the doctor. If its psychosomatic, conscious relaxation will help. Keeping one self bussy and cheerful is better start to work towards mental health.

Hi There\n\nThis explains it well.\n\nAnxiety\n\nSymptoms\nAnxiety is an emotion that may feature excessive worry, sleep disturbances, shakiness, ritualistic behavior, fear of being alone or in public places, impatience, easy distraction, and great apprehension concerning the welfare of loved ones. Associated physical symptoms include racing pulse, heart palpitations, shortness or rapidity of breath, sweating, dry mouth, numbness and tingling of the hands and feet or cold/clammy hands, lightheadedness or dizziness, fatigue, trembling, indigestion, and diarrhea. \n\nCause\nAnxiety disorders occur in people of all ages, but appear to be more common among women. The occurrence of an anxiety or panic attack is often unpredictable, but it may be associated with certain situations such as driving a car. The exact cause is complex, involving constitutional factors, emotional stress, biochemical imbalances, and environmental triggers. In women, hormone imbalances can cause anxiety. Therefore, hormone assessment is essential. Amino and fatty acid imbalances can also play an important role in triggering anxiety attacks. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Assess your diet to reduce excessive consumption of stressor foods such as refined sugars, honey, maple syrup, or cow`s milk products. Consume vegetable soups, broths, and a wide variety of green and yellow vegetables. Add more complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, beans, seeds, and nuts. \n\nFlower Essences: Flower essences can prove very helpful in managing and helping to eliminate anxiety. Use Aspen for apprehension, foreboding, and fear of unknown origin while Mimulus is for fear of known things, shyness, and timidity. Red chestnut is used for excessive anxiety and over caring for others. Rescue Remedy® (combination formula) is for general stress from anxiety, and Rock Rose is helpful for coping with terror and panic from known fear. \n\nHerbs: Panax ginseng has a tonic effect on the adrenal glands, improving blood flow to the brain and reducing the stress associated with mental/emotional issues. Valerian root, an herbal tranquilizer and muscle relaxant, is another good agent for calming the nervous system. It helps balance mood swings and is not habit forming. Valerian-hops combination formulas are good daytime sedatives because they don`t interfere with reflex actions. Passionflower is another mild sedative that helps reduce anxiety, high blood pressure, nervous tension, and muscle tension, and encourages deep, restful sleep. St. John's wort, a highly popular remedy for depression, has proven effective for anxiety and mood swings as well. \n\nHomeopathy: Aconite, Actaea rac., Drosera, Calc carb., and Sulfur are all useful homeopathic remedies for dealing with anxiety. \n\nHypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis helps to impart to the mind imagery designed to bring about deep levels of relaxation. \n\nMeditation: Develops the mind`s ability to stop anxiety at its source. \n\nNutritional Supplementation: The following supplements have all been shown to help reduce feelings of anxiety by calming the nervous system: calcium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, 5-HTP, pantothenic acid, and adrenal and kidney glandulars. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an amino acid, can also affect mood by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter serotonin (a mood regulator). \n\nAlternative Professional Care \nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of anxiety: Acupressure, Biofeedback Training, Bodywork (especially Massage Therapy), Environmental Medicine, Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine (for a self-care approach, we recommend the book The Mood Cure by Julia Ross), Qigong, Traditio

Vitamin E is good for your skin, but I'd recommend Vitamin B-complex for de-stressing. You also might want to try things like St.Johns wort, Valerian, chamomile, etc.

Herbal remedies to calm fear of what if?\n\nHere are three harmless methods you may want to try:\n\n1) Hypericum Perforatum\n\n2) Bachflower Rescue Remedy\n\n3) Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM.\n\n\nHow to use these?\n\n1) Hypericum Perforatum\nIt build the nerves, strengthens the immune system and soothes pain. It make you feel relaxed without being sleepy, unless you are exhausted and would need a good sleep.\nI would want to use 2 - 4 pills (on milk sugar base only) in one ounce of water. I would take one drop under my tongue every few seconds until the condition gets better, then less and less often, may be every 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes. Yet, at least 5 times a day. I would make the remedy fresh every day, less when less is needed.\n\nI like to add a bit of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar to taste. It has worked wonders for me! Advanced European hospitals are using it!\n\n2) Bachflower Rescue Remedy\nWhen you feel run down and rather shocked and exhausted than hyper, this remedy helps.\nI would buy a stock bottle and use 4 drops of the stock remedy on an ounce of water in a dropper bottle. Then I would take it very often like Hypericum, see above.\n\nParents have made the mistake to use Bachflower Rescue Remedy for hyper children before bed time and guess what, they got MORE energy! The parents would have needed this remedy! \n\n3) Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM\nIt works with the negative while staying positive. It is easy to do and takes only a minutes or three if you like. It is done every day before sleeping time. One does not have to know the origin of the fear, stress or else. It has worked for many since 1979! You find it spelled out at http://www.biochakra.com, click Hilites, go to the end of the monthly Hilite article, click Archives, Click Spiritual Energies, Predictions and the Bible, and find Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM.\n\nFurthermore, measure your pH, you may be highly acidic, which corrodes your nerves. To measure, get a roll of pH paper from a health food store, dip a strip in urine and one in saliva and read the discoloration and its number by comparing it to the colors on the box. The pH, in my experience, should always be 7.5, or problems may start!\n\nOne or all of these may help.\n\nEnjoy!\nCordially, India.Magica

No! I would try an herb before trying a dangerous medication.\n\nPassion flower (passiflora) is been shown to be very effective. It is on the GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) and can be taken in large quantities with no negative effects.\n\nIt is not really sedating, rather it is referred to as a hypnotic. It is also used as an anti-anxiety and been shown effective for epilepsy.

Yes, drink some hot tea, it will help you relax.  And know this, it is not the end of the world if things don't go as you expect them to.

Hi there, try these.\n\nNatural Therapies\n\n\nB group vitamins are of benefit in times of stress when B group vitamins and vitamin C are depleted. For best results choose one with added magnesium which assists in muscle relaxation\n\nHerbs traditionally used for their sedative actions, such as valerian, passion flower and hops may also provide relief of nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. When taken in a low dose they do not cause day-time drowsiness and are therefore useful for occupational stress, examination jitters and as a relaxant and mild sedative for stress and insomnia\n\nIf you are feeling anxious, try hypericum, which has been clinically proven to improve the symptoms of anxiety.\n\nImportant Notes\nIf you are feeling under stress all or most of the time, chances are your body is feeling it too. Take time out to evaluate your situation and long-term ways to deal with it, and consult your healthcare professional for supportive therapy and advice.\n\nPrevention\nYour body is less likely to be affected by stress when it's in good health. Stop smoking, commence a regular exercise programme and maintain a balanced diet, and you will find that you don't get stressed as easily.\n\nIf you know that you are particularly susceptible to stress, consider taking up meditation or doing a course to develop new problem-solving skills. Sometimes changing the way you look at problems changes the way you react to them. For help in these areas, ask your healthcare professional to refer you to a teacher in your area.\n Hope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

Caffine is a stimulant and actually makes you more nervous.  Try chomomile tea if you want to relax.

Good suggestions here already, but perhaps I could add:\n\nHerbs:  passionflower, hops, camomile, baical skullcap, oatstraw, motherwort.  This last plant is known for its nurturing effect, although in Florida might be hard to find.  Its Latin name is leonurus cardiaca, so its slight beneficial effect on blood pressure and on heart palpitations has been known since ancient times.\n\nI'll add valerian with a special note:  it's generally used for insomnia or anxiety, but it has a counter-effect with a small minority of people - it speeds them up instead of calming them.  So if you try valerian I'd try it alone, not in any combination, so you can determine whether you belong to the majority or the minority group.\n\nTo nourish the adrenal glands, which in turn will permit one to tolerate stress better:  oatstraw and nettles.  Nettles as in stinging nettles.  One of the most beneficial herbs in the plant kingdom.  Contrary to its common name, plant has a slightly sweet flavour.  Chock full of vitamins & minerals, more than spinach or broccoli.\n\nOne can usually find combinations of these herbs in tea preparations or in tincture form.  If you get to Washington state you can probably find wild nettles growing in the countryside, or someone who knows how to find & harvest them.  Make nettle soup, as north Europeans did for centuries in the spring - it perked them up after long winters without fresh veggies.\n\nFlower essences:  in addition to Rescue Remedy, there's also mustard flower essence (for grief) and bleeding heart flower essence (mourning something that's lost).\n\nWould you have time to try yoga?  Or even just to read Yoga Journal in a library, it's inspiring to read about people practising yoga to grow their minds and spirits as well as their bodies.

A little stress in anyone's life is normal and healthy, but having prolonged stress, accompanied by depression, is not good.  If you allowed this to continue, then yes, it could become serious and you could get quite ill. Good thing you're recognising that fact and can prevent this from happening now. It's time to do something about it and you have to find ways to calm yourself down.\n\nYou can use herbal remedies such as bachs and camomile tea regularly. Bachs can be bought from the pharmacy and whenever you feel stressed, just put a few drops under your tongue. Try not to use prescription drugs. The odd tranquiliser won't harm anyone, but don't rely on any prescribed drugs as you can become dependent on them and they have side-effects. \n\nYou should also treat yourself to alternative therapies such as reflexology, reiki and/or massage as they help to get rid of all the blocked, negative emotions that cause stress/depression. \n\nExercise is good, especially yoga. Another one I found great for stress was boxercise .. strenuous exercise and punching the hell out of punch bags! :o)\n\nAlso make sure you are eating a good healthy diet because sometimes when you're stressed/depressed, you forget to eat or just can't be bothered. Taking a good multi-vitamin is also a beneficial supplement during times of stress.\n\nYou have to switch off and give yourself some 'me' time. Go for a walk in fresh air, go for a nice scenic drive, watch a good comedy or two, meditate or even just give yourself half an hour in the bath with some soothing music and candles. \n\nWhen you get up each morning, take time to do some breathing. Take big deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you breathe in, imagine you are breathing in calm. As you breathe out, you are breathing out stress. Do this for at least one minute and then tell yourself 'today will be a wonderful day'. Smile. \n\nEvery time you find your mind wandering, stop, take deep breaths again, tell yourself that everything is wonderful and calm. Smile. \n\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing...

Warm baths, chamomile tea, a B-Complex vitamin daily, lavender scented things (soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, candles, incense).  Also prayer and/or meditation is helpful to some, as is exercise.  Eat properly, and get enough rest.

Exercise has always helped me - a brisk walk, some Tae-Bo or even some yoga.  Whatever gets my blood pumping and clears my head.  If that doens't work, I just sit in a quiet room and do some deep breathing.  Pure silence is the best thing in the world sometimes.  I used to take Xanax, which did help, but I knew I needed to find a more permanent cure.  I don't want to rely on drugs for my mental health.
