Anxiety: Is described as a subjective state of tension, apprehension, worry, uneasiness or fear. While mild episodes of anxiety are common and do not usually require treatment, more severe forms can be chronic and debilitating. Symptoms of severe anxiety include insomnia, difficulty in concentration, tachycardia, sweating, palpitation. Rec.: see your pcp for further investigation.

Panic attacks: If she can find a quiet place - do so. Breath in slowly & deeply through nostrils. Fill lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if needed . If she hasn't been assessed for panic/ anxiety - that would be prudent. Anxiety is no fun BUT it is treatable.
