Answer 2

Anxiety is a common and normal response to new or stressful situations. Everyone has felt worried at various times in day-to-day life. For example, some people feel anxious or nervous before they interview for a new job, before talking to a group of people, or when they are worried about someone they love. Here are some different ways that people experience anxiety:

NERVOUSNESS
Tension
Panicky feelings
Fear
Feeling something bad is going to happen
Feeling like "I'm losing control"




When you are anxious you may also have physical symptoms like:

Sweaty palms
UPSET STOMACH
TIGHT FEELINGS IN YOUR STOMACH
Shaking or tremors
Difficulty breathing
Racing pulse
Hot and flushed in your face
Sometimes these feelings come and go fairly quickly. Other times these feelings last a long time.

Tension can help people to do something well. For example, many actors say that they have "butterflies in their stomach," or anxious moments, before they perform. Sometimes people actually enjoy the feelings of anxiety, like when they are watching a horse race or riding a roller coaster.


However, when these feelings are very strong and contain fearful thoughts, they get in the way of everyday living. When they last a long time, they can prevent people from doing the things that are important to them. This is when people need to learn to manage anxiety better


This anxiety or stress cause a lot of buildu-up of stomach acids including HCL ( hydrochloric acids) causing the upset stomach and eventually nausea and vomiting.

You should also learn relaxation techniques - Dr. Herbert Benson has written several books on that. Learn meditation, or take yoga. Learn and practice deep breathing - it's amazing how it can help you calm down.

Good luck.
