英文原稿

Anxiety is not only an emotional state; it produces physical symptoms. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you can then take steps to alleviate them.

   1.Headaches.

   2.Dry mouth.

   3.Rapid heartbeat. Usually a heart rate above 100 beats per minute.

   4.Sweating.

   5.Shortness of breath.

   6. Light-headedness.

   7.Extreme body temperature, either excessively hot or cold.

   8.Gastrointestinal discomfort. This can be characterized by nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. ‍

What can you do about it?

Exercise and physical activity are great ways to reduce anxiety. Physical activity releases endorphins that will elevate your mood. It will also distract your mind from the test and studying.

People suffering from anxiety often have trouble eating and skip meals. This is a mistake. Hunger can make your anxiety worse, and it may starve your brain of nutrients and you won't be able to focus very well.

Make sure your meals are nutritious. Whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins are best because they will provide you with a sustained release of energy that will carry you through your study session.

Sleep deprivation is another cause of anxiety. Make sure that your brain has been properly rested and you can start studying with a fresh mind.
