Anxiety is defined as a state of apprehension or fear of future events, and is characterized by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and sweating. Tension and stress can also be associated with anxiety, but they refer more specifically to the emotional and physiological responses to a stressor, whereas anxiety can occur without a specific trigger. Arousal refers to a state of heightened physiological activity, which can be experienced positively (such as excitement) or negatively (such as anxiety).
