A heightened level of anxiety will often manifest as a physical symptom which will prompt them to consult a doctor. Doctors can do nothing about their condition but to provide medication.

There are techniques which will help you in conquering your anxiety without intervention of drug medication.
Exercise
People who have no exercise regimen have a higher possibility of developing extreme level of anxiety.

It will also relax your muscle which will prevent any manifestation of physical symptom. The stress hormones are also burned in the process which will beat anxiety disorder.
Self-Exposure
Another popular method in overcoming anxiety would be the self-exposure method. This therapy can be done with the help of a therapist. This type of method is concentrated on the idea that you will no longer experience any fear or anxiety if you are exposed on it for a prolonged period. It allows you to adapt to your fear.

Shouting

See to it that you will find a private place where you can shout without any inhibition. This technique can be silly and fun. You can also throw some stuff, wrestle with your pillow and just release the things that you keep inside. After a long week of accumulating stress, a mere shout can definitely do wonders in overcoming anxiety.
Finally, it will also help if you have someone to talk with regarding your anxiety. Overcoming anxiety does not necessarily mean that you have to tackle it on your own. Seek the help of your loved ones when conquering anxiety.
