Anxiety Attack Symptoms
Most of us lead lives that are filled with daily worries, hectic routines and deadlines that leave us with little or no time to rest, relax and rejuvenate the body and mind.
Anxiety is a common disorder around the world today due the fact that we keep building up stress without finding a way to release or deal with it.
Here are the most common types of anxiety and the anxiety attack symptoms that can help you recognize if you are suffering from one and consult a doctor right away.
Main Types of Anxiety Disorders and Their Symptoms
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD occurs mostly in adults; the common anxiety attack symptom to watch for here is the false fear that something bad may happen in the future.
This could include things such as worrying about your health to the point where you cannot work or concentrate on a job. Other symptoms include nausea, upset stomach, insomnia, change in appetite and muscle ache.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD manifests through obsessive behavior of irrelevant things. You know you are having an anxiety attack symptoms from this type of disorder when for example, you will obsess about cleaning your hands and you will do so excessively until you feel they are clean but all the while realizing that you are overdoing it.
Other common symptoms of those who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder is that they will worry obsessively about routine things such as, if you turned off the gas or if you turned off the water tap in the bathroom.
Panic & Anxiety Attacks
Panic & Anxiety Attacks can be quiet terrifying and sometimes painful when an anxiety attack symptom can be observed as the sufferer will manifest extreme fear about a situation that can last for up to 30 minutes at a time; other symptoms include muscle ache and upset stomach.
The next anxiety disorder is different types of phobias, which can be of anything from insects to height or dark places and these anxiety attack symptoms can be easily recognized as the one experiencing them will either freeze or will act absolutely irrational by screaming or reaching out at someone near by and scratching or squeezing this person.
Social Anxiety Disorders
Social Anxiety Disorder or SAD has symptoms such as intensive sweating, blushing, shortness of breath and pounding of heart; sometimes the sufferer may experience stammering as well.
How to Treat Anxiety Attack Symptoms
At home you may not be able to do much in order to treat an anxiety attack other then help the person successfully deal with it for the moment and see a doctor as soon as possible.
Many people don’t report anxiety disorders because they are not aware of how they manifest and sometimes that they even exist. Other people refuse to believe that they even had an anxiety attack and refuse to see a physician on that pretext.
The fact is that living with anxiety disorder can affect your health and in due course your relationships with family and friends as well as your ability to work efficiently.
Anxiety disorders can be cured and you too can live a happy and normal life like everyone else if you choose to act as soon as you recognize a symptom that is not in sync with your personality.
An anxiety disorder symptoms can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few months in which time you will not be able to lead a normal healthy life.
Most anxiety disorders start mildly when your body is over stressed and most people confuse it with a natural reaction to the stress or grief that you have just encountered. Educate yourself about your own body and help yourself live healthier and happier.
christine thompson Says:
for years I have had a funny turn, starts out with a dejuva feeling, then a spacey feeling, heart races while this is all happenning. After it passes i usually end up with a headache. A neurologist could not find a reason.
Could it be an anxiety attack? The frequency increases when I’m stressed about personal issues. I still function normally, I can even be involved in conversation while the feeling occurs and the person I am conversing with has not idea of what happenned.
Anxiety Attacks Says:
What you experienced sounds exactly like what happened to me when I had my anxiety attack period. It’s good that you went to a professional to rule out any more dangerous problems.
Anxiety attacks are not at all dangerous, although you might feel that you are about to die or going crazy sometimes.
Blanche Emes Says:
I too have suffered for years not really knowing what it is.
I have woke up and had an attack or they’ve hit me at work. I’ve experienced upset stomach, (hit to the bathroom), headaches, chills, crying spells, hard to speak and then exteme fatigue. I’ve been diagnosed with severe PMS, depression and now anxiety attacks.
I’ve been on anti-depressants for over 16 years and in the past year upon the suggestion of my doctor went to a psychiatrist where he upped my effexor (75 mg) from 1 to 3 per day plus two ativan.
In the recent months I’ve started experiencing the dejuva feelings (2 in the past 7 days) and that leaves me spaced out and very tired too.
Are there any tests a person could get. I have been for a EKG test and they said there was something abnormal but they couldn’t tell what.
Lisa Says:
I went to tthe doctors today as I’ve been experiencing similar symptons and the same ended up with a headace.
I thought they were panick attacks cus i tend to have them in a unfamilar social settings.
Today I had to go on a trainning session and cryed to my boss and started shaking. My fear is that people will see me shaking. I cant stop it and it tends to happen all the time now. Does this happen to anyone else?
Liz V Says:
I’m 30 years old and have an abundant of responsabilities and financial worries. have read all the symptoms that have lead me to admit to having OCD and Im in crisis of anxiety attacks. I stress and worry about everything. my life is completely out of balance and i dont have any self control. i constantly take deep breaths and my headaches are becoming more severe day by day. I need help. can all this anxiety lead to a stroke-heart attack. what can I do besides medication to relief myself. Im loosing ontrol over my life.
jolene G Says:
I am 30 years old and I was told I have GAD. I have many days where I find myself second guessing things I do. For example, I am driving down the road, but question if I am really in that place and time. If freaks me out a lot. I also have times where I get sick to my stomach and feel like i am doing the wrong things. For example, I am dating the right man, am i living in the right place etc… It is a horibble feeling. If anyone can relate to my feelings , could they please tell me about it, so i don’t feel so alone.
Carmen Says:
Hi Jolene,
Would you like to email me and we can chat. I have also suffered for a long time with these issues. It would be great to have someone to chat with that understands. Carmen
Tiffany Says:
Hi Jolene,
I am 31 and I have the same type of feelings. I have also been diagnosed with GAD. It is still really difficult to understand. I would love to chat.
victoria Says:
I think I diffinetly have social anxiety attacks.
Anywhere I go, espically if I SEE SOME1 I know, I will blush and I FEEL AS IF MY HEART WILL JUMP OUT OF MY MOUTH If i cant escape my face will get redder I will stick my head into a bunch of clothes or toys or hide behind my hair, I See people looking at me and they must think im mad I used love going drives in the car, but I cant do that now I hate being in it.
I cant walk up the middle of a shop or town or supermarket, I will stick close to something or somewhwer I can escape quickly. I do get bad headachs and pains and think Im having a heart attack, my breathing is the worse.
I think about death all the time, I dont want to die and leave my kids.
I do need help with this, I know my doctors are useless, they wouldnt help a person with anything. Im not the only Person in my family with this.
Christina Says:
Jolene,
I also have GAD and my counselor recently talked to me about the idea of group therapy. He said talking to people who are feeling the same things will help relieve the feelings of isolation and thinking that no one can understand you. Please let me know if you would like to email me.

Ive been to emergency numerous times and the last time i went they did blood work a cardiogram and took a chest x ray.

Cho Cho Says:
I seem get hotflashes and I go through this adrenaline rush, and I sweat a lot. I get tired and my heartbeat races quickly. This usually happense when I’m scared or emberassed. I’m only 16. Is this normal?
Jess Says:
I’m only 15 and I think I may have GAD. I tremble when Im nervous and constantly worry about anything I do. I get massive headaches when I’m shaking. I often get chest pains and it feels as if Im always sore and tired. I get very depressed at times and I haven’t been able to eat normally. Does this mean I have GAD?
Alexis Johnson Says:
Hi, my name is Alexis and I have been suffering for some time now, and feel hopeless. I can’t handle it anymore. Sometimes I wish my life would end. I have no medical insurance, and have been trying to get it for a long time.
I need help, my family thinks i’m crazy, i’m losing my boyfriend, and feel that i am not a stable mother for my daughter. I can’t make friends! I’m losing it, and all I want is to feel normal.
How can I help myself without insurance, to get on some medicine!?!
Feeling hopeless!

Dea Says:
My name is Dea I am now 32 years of age. For the last 2 years I get similar effects.
I start of feeling sick in the belly, my head starts spinning, I get more nervous if I think I’m going through one of these episodes. Next thing my hands go numb and tingling. My heary starts pounding, I usually look for my daughter to see if she’s safe, I lock the doors because I think this will keep her safe if I pass out( or the feeling is-IF I DIE). I can be talking or doing things with my daughter but I feel like I’m there but I’m not.
I have kept it a secret for 1 year because I learned to control it by taking deep breaths. Last episode it wasn’t that easy, I nearly ended up in hospital and thankful my cousins that were there two of the four people who know of my condition. I striped my clothes of because I thought it was restricting my breathing, my cousin told me later that night I looked pale and I was cold.
My voice was shaking and then my whole body just shook (like someone was having a fit). I was embarrased later because my daughter had seen me like that for the first time. I have read articles and brochures but still feel I have little knowledge about this. I have been told by a close friend who suffers from anxiety attacks says I have it.
I visited my GP two months ago for my Iron results (which were still low)and a medical certificate for the day off because I was suffering from migranes. I mention what had happened with my last episode, all she mentioned that could be one side effect of having low iron.
Do I have enough info for you to tell me a definate yes or no.

Lisa Says:
My name is Lisa and I have been suffering from panic attacks and anxiety for the past 10 years or more. I feel like I am going to die sometimes.
I always have sweaty palms, I get chest pains, have constant headaches, my neck and back are always hurting. I sleep from 10-15 hours a day, I am terrified to drive on the highway or fly in a plane.
Sometimes I feel spaced out, I shake my legs and feet all the time. I always feel sick, nervous for no reason and I have no motivation. I have been on medication for sometime now but I still have anxiety almost every day.
I get it worse close to menstruation. Can someone talk to me and tell me it will be alright.
Maria Says:
I’m 38 years old. For the past 2 weeks I’ve had shortness of breath, trouble swallowing, a tingly wave sensation over my body, weak muscles, fear that I’ve got a medical condition, fear of dying, hot/cold sensations and a lot of the symptoms I’ve read on this site.
It started when I got botox injections. I heard some people have severe reactions and side effects and now I’m convinced that I do too. I’ve been to the ER twice and my internal medicine doctor. Chest xray and bloodwork came back fine.
These “attacks” seem to happen mostly at night when I’m going to bed. I haven’t slept in two nights and feel horrible. These attackes last hours. My doctor doesn’t seem to understand how to help me and I feel hopeless. I’m starting to believe that maybe I have a panic/anxiety disorder.
How do I begin treatment and what kind of treatment?
I’m going back to him and tell him what I’ve read and maybe he can refer me to someone else.
Duffy Says:
I’m 19, turning 20 in June, and for the first time in my life I’ve had 4 anxiety attacks since December.
Tostate for the sake of truth, I’m a pothead..and never have I experienced a, “high” quite like what I did the first time I had an anxiety attack..of course mistaking it for the batch my friends and I got, I didn’t pay much attention to the, “I’m going to die, my heart is going to burst, I want the world to shutup,” feeling.
I remember an overwelming feeling, it all hit in my chest, like my entire body was sucked into the middle of me, and my heart would race. I started walking outside barefoot in the snow, with my heart bursting out of my chest.
Once pinpointing with a friend what these “highs,” really were, I’ve been on edge since. My heart is a ticking time bomb, and I don’t have any idea when my next attack will be…Got a doctor’s appointment on thursday, and I pray to god I don’t have GAD. No appetite. I sleep at crazy hours during the day and my body aches all over. Shortness of breath follows whenever I feel anxious and I’m trying to stay calm and collective. Reading up on these attacks have helped me understand what I need to do to get better.
Please, please, let me be okay. And everyone else who has ever felt this way.
My heart&soul [or whatever is left of it] goes out to you!!

Jeff Says:
Hi my name is Jeff and i am 44, i would just like to let everyone know that i have a panic disorder and i went through my first panic attack back when i was about 18 when i smoked what i thoguht was some bad pot,it was the most terrifying experience i ever went through,my symptoms were,blacking out,heart racing,sweating,numbness,the fear of passing out and dying.well needless to say i quit smoking pot but still had the fear of going through that agsin.
after the first attack i had lots more of the same within the following 6 months,i was in and out of emergency rooms alot during that time.i finally went to see a doctor and they ran all kinds of tests and found nothing so they started treating me for panic disorder.
they gave me a prescription for xanax to take it only when i felt a panic attack coming on which helped out alot.i still went through my panic attacks for the next 7 to 8 years but the xanax helped me cope with them.after 8 years the panic attacks seem to go away and i quit taking xanax and went on about my life.
after about 10 years of not going through my panic attacks i thought they were gone for good but just recently about 4 months ago i started feeling little panic attacks coming on and than i went through a very terrifying one at work one night and the next day after it had another terifying one that put me in the emergency room.
the next day i went to my doctors and they didn’t want to put me on xanax so they tried another drug on me which i was fine with and i went and got the prescription filled and took one that day and when i went to work that night i went through another real bad experience because of the side effects of the medicine.
now i am afraid to take any medicines in fear of going through worse panic attacks than when i am off them!I just have that fear of dying sydrome again and i guess i just got to say here i go again!is this never ending!?
shell Says:
i have had flutters and shortness of breath for 8 months. it all started when the doctor perscribed me anti-depressants. i took myself off them, because of the side affects i was having.
my heart raced, and got severe pulpatations. shortness of breath too. still to this day i suffer it. when ever i get a flutter i then get a twinge in my jaw. i have had many ECGs and a 24hour ECG, nothing has been detected!
heart disease runs in my family, my father died on his third heart attack.
so now its been put down as anxiety… i don’t know what it is but it can be very scary. im 21 and have a child.
anyone got and sugggestions, please help..
Shameka Says:
I have all the symptoms that you guys described but I’m usually working or walking when it happen and it seems as if I can barely walk as if my legs become so heavy.
My heart is racing and i’m severly light headed. These attacks leave me weak for a few hours. But I usually will work out when I have an anxiety attack it helps greatly.
I haven’t had severe anxiety in years but now it seems like it is creepy upon me again and its even worse when its getting close to that time of the month.
Michael Sabolewski Says:
Need help! I’ve been to the doctor and have had many test run and there’s nothing they see wrong. My symptoms are hard to explain. I feel like I’m having a rush or a flush feeling. Whatever I’m looking at suddenly seems weird, a bit like tunnel vision. I then know its coming on. I’m very aware that its happening. I get a burning tingling feeling in my head, chest and arms. I feel very weak, if awake I need to sit down, I get very pail looking, sounds are like talking in a tunnel. Its almost like I’ve been there before and I know whats going to happen or be said. It will then be followed up with sweating and feeling very hot. I will have several in a day and at night when I’m sleeping. Wakes me up out of a sleep. Its hard to explain, It must sound weird to other people, dont know how to explain it any better. It only last a few seconds up to a minute or two then its gone that fast. I Feel tired and weak afterwards and sometimes get a headache. I’ll have these for about a week and then there gone for a few months or so and then there back, samething all over again. Anyone have these symptom and can shed alittle light on this for me. Thanks!
jayne goldie Says:
i too suffer from severe anxiety and panic since having my first child 6 years ago i get thumping heart, aching chest muscles, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, cold and hot feelings, feeling faint, and jelly like legs also palpatations to name but a few and have suddenly started getting them more and more over the last few weeks after feeling great for last 6 months dont understand why this is happening i am also on citalapram.
Mika Says:
I am glad to have found this forum and read experiences of people who have anxiety/panic attacks like me. I had my first panic attack at the end of 2006 during a stressful time at my job. I was driving from the Bay Area to Phoenix for Christmas with my husband and had to pull over and let him drive. My chest tightened up and my limbs were tingly like they had just awaken after falling asleep. I could not breathe well and asked my husband to pull off the freeway and take me to an urgent care place asap. It was a horrible experience where I thought I was going to die.
I got over that episode and did not experience any more attacks until March of this year. Now I get anxiety attacks all the time, have the textbook symptoms of panic attacks and am slowly learning to cope with them. My symptoms are strong palpitations, headaches, feeling of exploding out of my body, lightheadedness, jelly legs, chest pain, fatigue, etc.
I have found the following books to be very helpful and highly recommend them: Stress Management Made Simple by Jay Winner, MD, and Don’t Panic by R. Reid Wilson, PhD. Both teach breathing techniques that induce relaxation, as well as, changing the way you think and your perspective. Stress Management also comes with a meditation cd which I find very helpful.
One of the keys to controlling symptoms is natural breathing (diaphragmatic). Breathe in slowly and fill up your belly first, then your lungs. You can put your hand on your belly to help you get used to it. By doing so, you can reduce your symptoms up to 50%. It has worked for me. Avoid hyperventilating at all costs as this is one of the major players in panic attacks. I hope this helps. Good health to all.
Rachael Says:
Hello,
I have suffered with anxiety in the past but have found ways to keep it under control, sometimes through medication other times through activity and time. However, in the past year it has gone out of control. I worry about everything. My life is out of balance, out of control, I am bouncing off the walls. I can’t sleep anymore. I wake up at 6 in the morning in a panic about my life. I can’t make decisions even about the smallest things. I second guess myself and have lost my self-esteem. I am drinking to the point of not remembering, I am doing a million activities, and I am trying to hold it together at work. I am going in a million directions at once.
My romantic relationships have suffered. I have lost a dance partner due to the increasing amount of anxiety in our practice sessions.
Last night I burned popcorn, spilled some crumbs on the floor and counter and I completely lost it. To the point where I scratch myself out of frustration. I become obessive about my behavior and go around and around with it in my head until I can’t think any more.
I am going crazy and I am trying to hide it but last night it came out and I just fell apart. I feel so alone and don’t know how to go back to when I was me again, when I was happy.
I am seeing a therapist and contemplating going on medication.
I have lost everything. I no longer dance with my dance partner because I would become so anxious in practice that I no longer knew my steps.
Jana French Says:
Hi, my name is Jana and I completely understand these things now, even though I have a severe difficulty controlling them.
My attacks started out very slowly, with small chest pains and this year out of the blue, I drive from home to work, about a 20 minute drive if you go on the interstate and I’m fine most of the time when I’m at home or somewhere where I feel comfortable but the minute I get in my car, my chest starts tightning up, and my eyes get jelly feeling, like a very light gel coating over them and I will get so overwhelmed that my tongue actually goes numb because it’s like I’m going to pass out and that’s when the tongue goes numb and I’ll shake my head or try to focus on something else and skake it off after a couple of seconds.
I feel like small pins are sticking in my face and after the attack, my face breaks out in a sweat and my chest tightens more and I’m really tired.
It’s very scarey and my doctor wanted to try me on Lexapro and take me off my Zoloft, which worked well for me and I’ve been on the Lexapro for a month now and it seems like the episodes are getting continuously worse.
I called her today 8/1/2008 and told her to please put me back on my 50 mg of Zoloft so tomorrow I’m changing back and pray these do the job.
I’m very glad and sad at the same time because I’m very glad to know that it’s not death calling on me and that other people also have this problem but then again I’m very sorry that we all live in a world that’s expects so much out of us that we all end up living on pills just to cope with the stress.
I pray we all get to the point that we don’t need these drugs anymore but for now, I’m highly thankful for them.
Jana

Aly Says:
I have had multiple anxiety attacks in the last few days and I am worried about some sort of problem with my brain such as a tumor. Even though the attacks have been gone for a little while, I still tremble and feel cold, though it is summer. I also still have jerky movements and stuff. In those last few days I also noticed this odd sensation in my head, it felt tickly/itchy and it makes me worry more. I still have muscle spasms and i twitch a lot and I am really worried about it being much worse than anxiety and sinus. I thought that sensation was accompanied by this nerve in my back that may be pinched. I am going to get a brain scan on Friday I think. Can anyone relate? please help.

Eden Says:
im eden and I’m 15 years old!!! I’m a professional dancer dancing 6 days a week for 15 or more hours a week I barely have the time to breathe. Now I’ve been diagnosed with GAD!!!!
I have times where I feel tingling in my legs and upper body and wierd muscle spasms! they really scare me but I realized theres no cure but to believe in myself.
Last year I was diagnosed with epilepsy! that took control of my life and my brain so whenever I have an anxiety attack I usually think it’s going to be a seizure!!! I also have severe asthma!!! For me, my life isn’t what you would call perfect! it’s the total opposite always thinking whether or not i’ll have a panic attack!!
I’m so frustrated with people telling me the same things to cure myself! I’m only 15 I too also feels as if theres no one who really understands!
