Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps you cope with tense situations. It also helps you focus on the task at hand and motivates you. Almost everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. Typically, anxiety goes away when the triggering event is resolved. However, anxiety is a problem when it becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, such as riding an elevator or leaving your house. People with anxiety disorder experience fear and worry that are out of proportion to the situation. These feelings are difficult to control and are more intense and last longer than normal feelings of anxiety. For instance, while it s normal to feel anxiety before public speaking, a person with anxiety disorder may consistently worry about speaking with small groups of people in everyday situations. Both normal worry and anxiety may be associated with the following symptoms. However, a person with anxiety disorder will experience these symptoms more frequently and intensely: Restlessness Fatigue Irritability and crankiness Muscle tension Headaches Sleep difficulties (unable to fall or stay asleep) Feelings of panic, such as sweating and shortness of breath If you find it difficult to control your worry or stress or if anxiety interferes with your daily activities, consult your doctor or a mental health professional. If you are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, effective treatment is available.

138/93 is really NOT horribly high. If you were a middle-aged adult, yeah, a conservative physician might have you take a daily quot;water pillquot; to reduce it a bit....but that s only because most physicians realize that most folks are not good about following the more natural path of decreasing their salt intake (snack foods/fast food) and getting more exercise (like taking a half-hour walk every day or two.

Happy Birthday! :D Now just a million more people tell you that and you ll feel a teensy bit better. Til then - just relax, take a walk, have a hot bath and some ice cream, anything that ll make ya feel better.
