Breath holding: Try holding breath for as long as possible and then take a breath or two. Next start breath holding again. Continue this for 10 minutes or so. The effort will rebalance the level of co2 in your blood and relax your nerves. Go to heartmath.Com for training in biofeedback methods of relaxation. A book called "the relaxation response" by dr. H. Benson is advised.
