A member asked:
Are there any specific breathing exercises/techniques that provide immediate or fast relief from anxiety and associated muscle tension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any exercise: You can start with any type of vigorous exercise. Can you start it slowly and then ramp it up. This would be your best nonmedication way of treating anxiety. You could also ask your physician to get you consulting.
