What can I do? Everytime I'm taking classes that are not that easy I get these symptoms. I can't calm down enough to study my books. It really sucks. How to relieve pressure?

You will need to speak with your doctor (primary care physician) about your anxiety. You may have had anxiety for years, but it never surfaced because school had been easier and you were more confident in your ability. This was the case with my Attention Deficit Disorder. I may have had it as young as primary school, but because school came easy for me, I never had an issue with it. It was not until college that the symptoms really began to appear.
Your doctor will be able to refer to you the right people and get you the help you deserve. Whether through talk therapy and/or medication, you will be able to overcome this minor obstacle and will improve your studies. I am glad that you have admitted you have a problem, and you are well on your way to getting help. Good luck in your endeavors.

Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I know how you feel, The following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks:
1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and anxiety etc. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: www.livinglifetothefull.com
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough (twice a day). You can get free downloads in you put "progressive muscle relaxation" into Google (e.g. lots of universities have them as free downloads)
With each step practise makes perfect. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!

Medication may be needed. Seek the advice of a professional Psychiatrist and she what they have to say. In the meantime do personal positive affirmations on a daily basis. This is working wonders for me.
