The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health maintains anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. Some anxiety is actually healthy and can help you “get through the day.” Anxiety actually can help motivate people in deadline situations to work harder, study more or focus intently on the task at hand to achieve a successful result. However, when anxiety consumes an individual’s life and actually interferes with day-to-day activities, it’s time to get help. Excessive anxiety is like a nagging fear that can manifest in physical, emotional and mental expressions. So, what are the symptoms of anxiety?

* Heavy breathing that leaves you feeling out of control
