Anxiety is a common symptom, but is particularly present in the well delineated syndrome of `anxiety state'. Excess lactate production has been shown to occur in some patients suffering from anxiety neurosis. Lactate infusion has been shown to induce anxiety in this group. Furthermore, carbon dioxide is known to alleviate anxiety in selected cases. An attempt to relate these two findings has shown a positive correlation between them. The relationship and possible mechanisms are discussed.
