yes i do you feel very short of breath and your heart beats really fast and have a sudden desire to get away from where ever you are it can be very frightening and scary but usually go within about 1-5 mins. id go to the doctors they can usually give you something to help. or check out the nhs website. good luck

The symptoms vary from person to person. In my case, I felt faint and lightheaded. I think this was because I would breathe too much air when I became stressed in a situation. There also are symptoms of nausea, chest pains, stomach pains, etc…You must get to the source of the problem and learn to cope with the stresses of life. Good Luck … things get better when you learn to deal with them … I’m proof!

You name it, i got it!

It usually started with my ears popping or something – that would cause a whole load of crap to come on. Chest pain, dry mouth, dizziness, sweaty palms, the shakes, a headache. it was ugly. I would worry about every little ache and pain that i had and wonder if it was something super serious and things like that. I have it under control now – had to get an RX – i am currently taking 40mg of cymbalta and it has helped tremendously.

Hope that helps some.

Not everyones symptoms are the same, I had it a few years ago and it felt sort of like a stroke,chest pain,pain going down your left arm,dizziness,feeling like your throat is closing up and you can’t breathe. It is a scary thing. I got mine from drinking too much caffeine and taking allergy pills for an extended amount of time. I quit both of these and have never had them again. They kind of feel like you are going to die.

I highly suggest reading and following the techniques adviced by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD in his books. He deals primarily in/with anxiety and stress, as well as many other mental ailments !! He provides Many self-help, and self coping strategies for a person to use to deal successfully with anxiety. He also has a thriving, successful clinic in Mass.
Another Most Excellent person is Dr. Andrew Weil. He deals with Anxiety, pain and illnesses.
Books by these authors start at only $3.70 on Amazon.com They also have a combined audio
CD book together, which is very Good, and quite helpful. I have a few books and audio CD books by these authors, to reduce stress and obtain rest/peace. They work well for any mental or physical ill-ness.

Good Question. THANK YOU !!!

Anxiety symtoms vary but most suffers experience fatigue, stomach/bowel upset, headaches, inability to concentrate, loss of appetite, weight loss/gain(overeating) difficulty in getting to sleep,inability to enjoy hobbies etc.Can be chronic.

Some of the symptoms of panic attack are a sudden and overwhelming fear that completely take you over coupled with rapid shallow breathing, chest pains,racing heart, feeling that you are having a heart attack and are going to die.This can all sem to happen for no apparent reason. The attack is usually short lived, 3-5 minutes.It’s a really crappy experience but is very treatable.
