I have GAD and currently in the process of changing my meds. and have been having panic attacks everyday. im just wondering if these symptoms are normal for panic or if there something else. I get heaviness that radiates from my face, to my shoulders to my legs. it feels like these body parts get so heavy, and ive never expierenced that before. i dont want to call the doctor just yet, because im such a hypochondriac. so pleas anyone who has had these symptoms, or if you think its something worth going and getting checked out. thanks

the list goes on,do people really feel these symptoms or do they imagine that they feel them?

As soon as my children say they have a stomach ache I have panic attacks symptoms such as cold sweat, heart racing, feel like I could pass out and feel like vomitting. I normally don’t feel better until they are 100% back to normal. I lose about 5 lbs becuz of not eating becuz they are sick. This normally only happens when they have stomach problems not when they have a cold. Help me I can’t keep doing this.

how do you know if you are experiencing a panic attack or PTSD?

I Have & Know Panic Attack Sympyoms But I Want To Know If I Have More Than I Thought

Are panic attacks a symptom of depression?

i’d sure like to know, if y’all have some tips.

i feel like it has been long enough (3 1/2 years) that this shouldn’t be happening!! i want some control over my damn mind and body, already. it isn’t that my boyfriend is pressuring me. i’m just as up for it as he is. but i start to have my old panic attack symptoms when penetration starts, so we stop, i go home and punch stuff, and he feels awful.

the only way i have managed to have consensual sex, is once, i drank 6 beers. i hardly remember anything. my boyfriend felt really bad about it and didn’t want to try anything for a few weeks. (i quit drinking in august.)

but i am determined to have control over my body and have some damn sex if i want to.

is there anyone here who has actually has a good sex life now? how did you do it? did it get better with time?

I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with having anxiety/panic attacks. I was on Lexapro which really helped, but then got pregnant with my 3rd child and got off medication. After I had my baby I didnt feel even a 1/4 of how I felt when I started on meds, but lately I’ve been feeling kind of crappy again. Im a smoker and occassional drinker, and have recently decided to quit smoking and limit my drinking even more, since I know both of these things dont help with preventing attacks. My symptoms of an attack are feelings of blood rushing to my temples and like something is going to pop. I dont get it in the chest like others say they do and I was just wondering if anyone else with attacks have symptoms like mine?
I also get some numbness in the temples.
Yes, I’ve had a catscan, and a ekg, they’ve taken my blood pressure, and tested me for blood infection, everything came back normal.

lately I have a weird feeling I’m swaying when I’m just sitting. Then today I woke up with chest pains, shortness of breath (pretty sure not heart attack) and feeling generally weird… I had stomach issues and took tums and went to the bathroom but I want to feel good… It sucks because I feel like I just had a big fight with my boyfriend.. its kind of that same feeling and the chest annoyance keeps coming back.

One of my "triggers" is air travel, and I have a trip planned for Christmas that requires flying. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Have you always had these symptoms or the like and it was called something else? I have been labeled and have labeled myself so many things trying to figure out what my deal is, among them, ADD, LD, Social Anxiety, Depression and plain old Anxiety. Anxiety does seem to run in my family a bit on my mothers side and my mother herself is a bit OCD and of a Hypochondriac, no more then a bit. I don’t know if I’ve learned this disorder or if it is a biological thing. I’ve also recently found out that my biological father thinks he’s bi-polar, see why I feel crazy.

I’m just sharing my story and feelings, I guess so that you will share yours, it helps to not feel so alone, I know I’m not but it feels that way at times, this is one of those times, lol.

i get really nerveous at night and like i am losing control

I just developed panic attacks and i fear that im going to die. I been having them for 3 weeks and about 4 times a day lasting 4-6 hrs everytime. It feels so bad so i want them to go away. Also the deep breathing makes it worse. The panic attacks seem to worsen right before i laydown or as im trying to fall asleep.
Songs seem not to help. Relaxation doesnt seem to work all the time.

Everytime I get a panic attack, I not only have the overwhelming very scary feelings of panic and fear. But I also have very miserable physical symptoms that go along with the attacks these symptoms often include nausea, chills, shaking, stomach cramps, diarrhea, lightheadness, feeling disoriented. Does anyone else relate to this,and if you have ever had these physical symptoms as well what do you do make yourself feel better during the attacks? Or these physical symptoms all in our head, or are they our body’s way of reacting to being under such overwhelming fear and anxiety?

For me, panic attacks symptoms are elevate heart beat of course, chest pain, and feeling my heart "arritmic", feeling of dying/fainting, sensation of numbness on hands and legs…
