Hello,Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic .
First of all is there any particular issue triggering anxiety?if yes please find out talk to him about the issue .And try to find a solution to it.
Anaemia also causes anxiety ,please get his haemoglobin levels tested ,and if low he can be started on supplements to improve anaemia.
Multivitamin supplements also help to calm the nerves.
If still it continues,please seek medical attention and get him on anxiolytic medications
Hope this helps

nothing really seems to trigger it its just been a constant feeling of worry that never seems to dissipate, then in stressed situations it just flares up..

Brief Answer:
In that case please investigate

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

Well if that is the case, please investigate as I have explained to you.
When there is some metabolic deficiency in the body it tends to flare up the nerves.
I would also suggest you to get a Serum B-12 level done and supplementation if found deficient.

Do let me know if you've any further queries
Best wishes
