This emotion points to the future; it implies some kind of threat or danger that is coming or about to happen.  3. The emotion is unpleasant and painful, and there can be a feeling of imminent death or imminent fainting and collapse.  4.Simultaneously with the experience of anxiety, there is somatic discomfort, psychomotor disturbance and vegetative dysfunction.  5.
