My friend's heartbeat increases at times of discussion and he speaks fast. Is it anxiety? Then how to get rid of anxiety?

Yes, it can be due to anxiety. Severe anxiety symptoms are often linked to poor breathing habit that contribute to anxiety and many of the most upsetting symptoms. Controlling you breathing is the solution - and it's not what you think. Even if you feel you can't take a deep breath, you actually need to slow down and reduce your breathing, not speed it up or try to take deeper breaths. Take more controlled, slower, shallower breaths, using the following technique: breathe in slowly and gently through your nose for about 5 to 7 seconds. Hold for about three or four seconds. Breathe out slowly and gently through pursed lips like you're whistling for about 7 to 9 seconds. Repeat this exercise ten to twenty times. This method of breathing will ensure that you're not hyperventilating (a common problem of those with anxiety) and will help to regain the co2 balance in your body that creates many of the worst anxiety symptoms. For any queries or clarifications, you can consult me. All the best:)
