Hello all. Anxiety symptoms are different for everyone, but a lot of folks experience the feeling of chest pain, heart palpitations, choking/smothering sensation, tightness in the chest or throat, trembling, hot/cold flashes, dizziness, gastro problems, etc. Pretty much, you name it. But Alison is so right! There are a lot of physical ailments which present as anxiety and it is so important to rule these out first before deciding what is going on with you is "just anxiety". That being said, I know what you are going through is not easy. I know that it's hard and painful and scary. Know that you are among friends here who all know anxiety very well. We are all here to help each other out and support each other in our daily lives on our journey to recovery. Welcome. I wish you peace. jen
Well I get the same I feel like I have a hard time breathing and like if I am going to get a heart attack I just count backwards and it will go away
im 17 to and there are many different symptons. Me personally i sometimes get palpitions or a feeling that its hard to breath. I know what you are going through. I hope this helped a little
The hard part is that anxiety can be so different for anyone that there really isnt for sure symptoms. Mine can change daily. Many people have the feeling of chest pain and think they are having a heart attack but not all. The best thing you can do is get in to see your doctor and let them know how you are feeling. They may want to check your thyroid etc to make sure that is not what is causing you to feel how you are.
Good Luck I hope you get answers soon, this is an amazing forum, so stick around and maybe reading others stories can help.
mee too ... i get the same thing... but what we have to do is just tell ourself that its all our head.. and it will be fine... hopefully... i have the very same symptoms.... my teacher told me that our brain can be iur friend if we use it well or a foe..
Well I don't know any for sure symptoms but for me, I feel like I have difficulty breathing. Like I can't get a deep breath. Also my throat gets tight and sometimes I hyperventilate which makes it worse. I get dizzy and tingles all over because I hyperventilate. Once in a while I will get hot flashes. These are just my symptoms.
