What are alternative ways besides medication to deal with the physical symptoms of anxiety?

You can try relaxation exercises e.g. Progressive Muscle Relaxation,walk and deep breathing etc. Visual imagery can also help in this regard.

Mediation, breathing exercises, low sugar/caffeine/alcohol in your diet, enough sleep, exercise, therapy/counseling.

Breathing exercises are a good method. Also, fidget spinners are another good way to help with anxiety.

Yoga and other forms of exercise release natural endorphins that can help with disorders such as depression and anxiety. Having a healthy diet can also help as well.

I know this is going to sounf like the silliest/stupidest thing a person on this site could possibly say but...breathing. controlling how you breathe will make you be able to control yourself and make you feel ten times better!! And breathing excersises help a lot too!! I would SUPER AND HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you check out this guy called Wim Hoffman who changed my life with his UNBELIVEABLE AND STUPIDLY EASY breathing techniques.

Try to do something you enjoy! Taking a walk or meditation etc can be helpful to some people as well. If non of these work for you don't worry. There are dozens of other ways to relieve anxiety. You can find some bu simply Googling some or talking to people on group chats or on forums.

An alternative way besides medication to deal with the physical symptoms of anxiety is take a breather, go for a walk and take yourself out from triggering moment if it triggers your anxiety if necessary.

There are many ways, but I will name just a few. Try to find what works for you. This sounds very cliche, but breathing. A good breathing technique can work wonders. It is important that you inhale longer than you exhale, almost like you are holding your breath. This helps your body naturally slow down. Grounding. Grounding is a technique that lets you come back to the presence when your anxiety is taking over. There are many ways. One is the 5-4-3-2-1. Each corresponds with a sense. Name 5 things you see. 4 things you feel (take time and really feel them). 3 things you hear. 2 things you smell (you can spray perfume or something if you like). And 1 thing you taste. Say it out loud. It sounds silly, but it can work. Exercise can almost "distract" your body for anxiety and release endorphins which make you feel good. Therapy is another alternative. It takes work, but a therapist can give you many more ways to deal with the symptoms.

Relaxation techniques are very effective when dealing with anxiety, because it is impossible for the body to be both anxious and relaxed and the same time. Breathing from your diaphragm is a great place to start.

meditation, in the healing of the body soft music, water sounds ocean laying in bed closed eyes, soft breathing in and out of the lungs. and breathing in through your nose. helps reduce stress and anxiety.

Meditation is number one on my list. I use the 'Calm' app which helps me relax even further and switch myself off from the rest of the world. I have felt the long-term benefits of using this method and it far surpasses medicinal use in my opinion. Without you even knowing, each time you meditate you are creating 'new' neural pathways that enable you to react differently, feel more calm, and rationalise your thinking in a smarter way. It seriously works wonders - give it a try.

Try doing some meditation or deep muscle relaxation. It helps a lot with the physical symptoms, even though it may seem strange.

I find that meditation and self care really help me a lot. Stepping back and taking a few deep breaths also helps me refocus.

I had anxiety for a long time. Something that can help is meditation or yoga. Learning to deep breathe and really focus on it can help later when you feel anxiety in a situation. Something a mentor taught me once is - breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 6 seconds, and let go for 7 seconds. Anxiety can cloud your mind and make it hard to think in the moment. So just try to remember 5, 6, 7. Good Luck!

Try being socialized more. Being with others will help you get your mind off of anxiety. And will give you good memories to walk back to.

Definitely finding something to focus on and retreat into when things get bad is a great coping technique. For me, that was playing online games and photography. Realise that the symptoms you're experiencing are short-lived, and also to be patient and kind with yourself. I'm glad you're looking into other methods rather than relying on medication. I'm certainly not anti-meds, and I've used them in the past, but they only mask the symptoms rather than treating the underlying causes. Good luck to you :)

Talk to someone about it with whom you feel comfortable keeping your self occupied with work or with your hobby

exercise, eating healthy, meditation. these things will grow your mental strength which will help you in facing such problems

Subliminal. Hypnosis. Meditation. Exercise. Hobbies. Screaming in a place where nobody can hear you. Go to Karaoke and sing like a gorilla. Become batman and save the world

Therapy, CBT therapy, seeing a counselor, or a psychiatrist, or a psychologist are all fantastic ideas if you don't want medication.

I highly recommend stepping away from the situation and taking slow, deep breaths. If you cannot leave the situation (ex/ you're at work), stop for a second and breathe. Tell yourself that you're going to be okay. Also, exercising really helps when you are running on adrenaline from all the anxiety.

Well first talking this over with a doctor can help. Learning some mindfulness skills also is a big tool that helps many with anxiety. Learning what triggers your anxiety is good to start learning, then you can be more aware and cut back on the symptoms. Good luck with this!

You can use Breathing techniques, meditation, exercise, journalling, reading, soothing sounds and soft music.

Breathing exercises and hugging always helps me. When I start having a panic attack I hug my pillow and breathe in my nose and out my mouth.

Change of place and surroundings can be a good way to relieve anxiety. If change of place is not possible, then adding a new routine preferably physical activity like a walk in the morning or a game with friends. This can help regulate the oxygen levels in brain and also act as a distraction from the recurring thoughts that are making one anxious.

You could try a holistic approach. Chamomile supplements and tea for example are very calming, I don't know if you are open to smoking, but marijuana helps with anxiety too. Be sure to go to a dispensary because Marijuana can make your anxiety worse if you get the wrong kind.

Have a personal item or symbol that is sentimental and can ground you. E.g I wear my partners necklace and hold the pendant when I am anxious and it reminds me he is always there even when my anxiety tells me I am alone.

Surround yourself with people who keep you balanced. This is the best advice I can give in regards.

Remember that this is normal, breathe deeply and remember you will get through this just like the last time.

Meditation has worked wonders for me with anxiety and it's symptoms. There are a ton of different techniques, I personally use the headspace app. But I know there are a bunch of other wonderful apps too
