Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient is exhibiting signs of severe anxiety, as indicated by the symptoms of headache, palpitations, nausea, dizziness, tachycardia, and trembling. These symptoms go beyond the mild or moderate anxiety levels, which are typically characterized by increased nervousness or worry, but not to the extent of severe physical symptoms. Panic anxiety would involve an even higher level of distress, often with a sense of losing control or experiencing a life-threatening situation, which is not explicitly indicated by the symptoms described.
