Sometimes I get so anxious I throw up, shake, can't breathe, and sweat profusely - what can I do?

I keep a teddy bear in my car for moments like this, and I have a play list of songs that I find comforting and relaxing. Also, America's Funniest Home Videos is a great distraction :)

Take a deep breath, relax and go through the anxiety steps listed here... Slow things down, let your mind calm and reflect on the good, not the bad. We can't change tomorrow...

When I am anxious to the point of shaking, loss of breath and profuse sweating, I tend to remove myself from the situation, focus on my breathing, have a sip of water and practice mindfulness.

I've found the 5 senses method to work very well. It helps you find your ground because you have to touch 5 things. See 4 things. Hear 3 things. Smell 2 things and taste 1 things and by the time I've gotten to 3 in already calming down.

Breathe in and out slowly and close your eyes. Clear your mind and calm down. Then walk away and calm down in a quiet place and think.

Seek professional help through your doctor or other help care professional to address the cause and treatment of your anxiety.

see a doctor, they can either refer you for anxiety tips or give you anti-anxiety meds. Try see a doctor as soon as possible

It is normal to go through that. From my experience it is due to stress, anxiety,madness and sadness. Drink some cold water it can help you feel refreshed. Don't think about the subject that is causing you all this pain so you need to find a distraction i suggest you read a book, listen to music or even watch a show. However you can talk about the subject that is causing you all this stress and anxiey with someone you trust. I also suggest you take long deep breaths, hum and jog in place.

Close your eyes, think of something relaxing, go outside where it is quiet. There are many ways to deal with anxiety, learn them and see what works for you. A paper bag to breath in?

The way you are feeling doesnt seem very nice .well done for coming to talk to someone on this site .The listeners are here to support ,listen and care alot about other people.

I think that the best thing that you can do is to consult a doctor about this. Drink some liquids and try calming down. Try laying down as well and breathe slowly. If anybody is nearby get someone to help you get through it.

Anxiety can spiral out of control, noticing when it is just starting and stopping it there by focusing on something else, like deep breathing, can fight so much of the battle for you. Just a small tip, not a complete answer. Hope it helps!

Hello! I may have a suggestion that may help. Try laying down put your hand on your stomach and breathe. Watch your hand rise and fall with every breath.

When I get anxious, I talk to myself. I try to remember some positive things and after I focus on my breathing . This the key !

Take deep breaths... Inhale and exhale slowly. And keep up a positive state of mind "I can do this!"

try to control your breathing during this time, look around you and try to ground yourself, remember where you are and what you're there for. I would also suggest seeing someone such as a doctor or counsellor as thats how I got in control of my anxiety x

Take slow deep breaths, close you eyes and just sit there for a moment. When you feel less like throwing up start to open your eyes slowly and keep taking the deep breaths. When you can get your eyes fully opened then work on moving to a area where you feel less anxious

This is an incredibly scary thing to go through. And this sounds like an anxiety attack or panic attack. If you are at home or a friends/familys house where you feel safe, this can be a good place to let it pass but I know at work or in public, this can add to the terror. When I go through these experiences, I try to excuse myself and find a quiet place. I then focus on my breathing. I put my hand on my stomach and I focus on the air lifting my stomach and the air leaving it. It can take a few minutes but feeling the air going in and out and realising that air is flowing, makes me feel a bit better.

This exact same feeling happens to me at times. What seems to help is to get in a comfortable, cool area and simply watch television. Surround yourself with other people immediately and don't try to distract yourself, instead have a normal conversation with someone else and trust me, you'll begin to feel better.
