Exam!: It's always important to check for possible medical causes of anxiety such as heart disease or hyperthyroidism so I strongly suggest a complete medical exam for a start. And good natural approaches for anxiety include regular aerobic exercise, a good diet with a lot of veggies and fruit, avoidance of alcohol, drugs & smoking, adequate rest & sleep & meditation. I wish you well with your health!
