Anxiety Attack Symptoms: Do You Know Them?

The thing about any kind of disorder, not just anxiety attacks, is that you may have only one, or many of the following symptoms. Everyone is different so the symptoms for one may not be the symptoms for you.

With that said, the following symptoms are the most common:

Terror that can't be described
Impending doom feeling
Dizziness (severe or just light headed)
Nausea
Queasiness
Shortness of breath (no matter what position)
Sweating (even when you feel "clammy")
Hot or flushed
Heart rate elevated
Feeling that your chest is restricted
Muscles feeling so tense it is painful to move

You know, feeling a bit tense, nervous, or anxious, unfortunately, is part of today's society. Almost everyone seems to be in a huge hurry. There is the economic situation. Then there is the health crisis, terrorist attacks, and other heinous crimes. Is it any wonder that most everyone is nervous?

Anxiety disorder is completely different than the day to day stress and nervousness most everyone endures on a daily basis. The above symptoms will help you make that differentiation.

Also, keep in mind, that the severity of the symptoms plays a huge role in determining whether or not you have any kind of anxiety disorder.

For example, if you have a deadline at work, a long plane flight, that feeling of "butterflies in your stomach" about an upcoming event, or just a feeling of dread about normal tasks, that is not necessarily anxiety disorder, but for some people, may lead to a full blown anxiety attack.

When a full blown attack is experienced, the symptoms, most of the time, are extremely severe. It is no wonder so many people think they are having a heart attack or that something else is definitely wrong. You can pretty much be certain, however, if you have the physical symptoms along with anxiety or panic, then it is a good bet you're having an anxiety attack.

Unfortunately, an anxiety attack can happen anytime without warning. You can be simple things like reading a book and then out of nowhere, the anxiety monster pays a visit.

A lot of people worry or stress about having an anxiety attack. Oddly enough, worrying about having an attack can trigger one. Another situation sometimes happens. When you have an attack, the memory banks in your brain store every little detail about it. If you happen to be experiencing a similar circumstance that caused an attack in the past, you will probably experience another one because of those memories. It then becomes a habit.

What most people do is avoid the situations altogether but avoiding the situation is not the answer.

If you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms we discussed earlier or your playing the "avoidance" game, look for solutions. You do not have to live life like this anymore. Don't you owe it to yourself to get relief?
