What are your physical anxiety/panic attack symptoms?
I suffer from GAD and panic disorder. I have panic attacks more often than I wish, some small and other really really bad. I've been to the hospital countless times along with visiting my doctor for what I think is "life threatening" and never find anything. I have experienced chest pain/tightness, shortness of breath, dizzy, headaches, choking sensation that lasts a while, thought of swollen throat, trouble swollwing, numbness, stomach pain, etc. just courious on what everyone goes through. I felt like such a "weirdo" for a long time and thought I was just nuts until finding this app and reading that I'm not alone in this type of attacks.

I start shaking like crazy when I'm anxious or panic-y.
Kind of makes me look weird or like a weak pushover. And people constantly ask me if I'm cold.
normally i start breathing really fast and i start moving my hands and fingers a lot. they used to be really bad but i'm now able to stop myself before anything bad happens
when i have a pannic attack, my legs usually start shaking. i start crying and feeling dizzy, it always feels like i have a tennis ball down my throat and that is stopping me to breathe normally so i start breathing in this accelerate rhythm and my heart starts beating super fast.
@chaosgirll345 I feel the same way in panic attacks as well. The tennis ball especially heightens it more.
heart racing, chest pain, dizziness, loss of breath, crying, sometimes a stomach ache, blurry vision
When I am panicking I get dizzy and sweaty. As anxiety/fear I get super tense, sweaty, I feel cold and/or hot, heart racing and tired.
My signs is how my throat is closing, feels like i start heavy breathing and cant concentrate on anything else but getting my throat to open. Its like im being chocked with invisible hands. Also I feel an incredible urge to scratch the back of my head, its an uncomfortable feeling of numbness there. Cant walk straight and my eyes cant focus. A feeling of fear creeps in behind me. Although my panic attacks are about 5 minutes long before i can wake up again
Nausous, heartburn, pain in stomach, think I have an ucler. Headaches dizzy and shaky
Sweating, a sense of fear/panic, heightened pulse, blushing, stuttering, crying, shaking limbs.
@fionav16 Also nausea, and that makes everything worse since I have anxiety regarding vomiting.
I start of with a quick heart beat then start to hyperventilate then shakey cant breathe pin in my chest palm starts to get very wet
by reading all of your really helpful comments of your symptoms to panic attacks i've realized i've been going through shock when anxious. My breathing is shortened and i see black spots until i lose my vision then i get numb and pass out and fall. this has happened 6 times. my wife witnessed the 6th time 2 days ago.. i've been telling myself i've been having panic attacks.. thank you all i just downloaded this app 20 mins ago and you all have been so helpful!
