How Crucial Is The Link Between Anxiety And Panic Attacks
Panic attacks come in many different forms but anxiety and panic attacks seem to be intrinsically linked. For those who have never experience a panic attack, it is hard to catch your breath, your heart races and you start to sweat. This combination of symptoms can also induce dizziness and the body can start to quiver.

Any techniques or medications to reduce stress and anxiety?
I want to control my anxiety in a healthy way, I'd like to avoid heavy medications but any advice is appreciated.
Well I've been clinically diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder. It was really getting in the way of my life -- I'd have constant anxiety and panic attacks, etc. So unless you're going through something which is disruptive, I don't think you should try medication.... The sideffects aren't worth it. If you're just stressed and anxious from things going on in your life, and you don't fix those problems first, medication will not change the issues. For me, though, my anxiety was so disruptive that I needed the medication before I could get to a 'normal' level, and from there I could start making the necessary changes in my lifestyle. Make sense? 
Anyway, a lot of studies I read about in my highschool Psych class said that most doctors believe even clinical depression can be treated by exercise. So, start exercising! It's the best thing you can do for your physical, and yes, mental health. Yoga and meditation is amazing. I don't do yoga, but I started meditating five to ten minutes every day before going to work and it realllly helped. I also meditate sometimes before going to bed, so it helps me fall asleep faster. I just sit there with my eyes closed and try to block everything out. I breath in deeply for ten seconds, hold it in for ten seconds, and exhale for ten seconds. After awhile I zone out and stay there for awhile.
That's not all, though. Definitely get into aerobic exercise like jogging, or swimming, jump roping, dancing... Whatever will get your heart rate up and interest you. Honestly, start doing exercise twice a week, and within a few weeks you should start noticing a change in a lot of things in your life. You're going to sleep better, you're more relaxed, you have more energy during your waking hours. It's nice.
Of course, stress can also mean you can be overexerting yourself. So make sure you don't overdo it. A lot of times all you need to do is something as small as making sure you get enough sleep at night, and eat well during the day. Make sure you're not taking in too much caffeine and junk food; try eating healthier with more natural foods. Try devoting a little time every day to do something all for yourself, like relaxing, reading, listening to music, or whatever. Find a hobby that will make you feel productive. My dad likes to go out sailboating, haha.
And, as always, talk to your doctor. They know you better than us on Yahoo! answers, and they can probably look at your life and give you a more accurate and specific regime to creating a healthier lifestyle.
