Panic/ anxiety attack symptoms that you have

[Kay8803]

Hi all,
I personally get sickness, upset stomach, can not eat, headaches, pressure band, tight throat, and one that is the worst in my eyes, I hold on to anything bad that has happend to someone close to me and my mind makes me believe that I have I have the same. This is the hardest thing for me to deal with as it always seems to be the worst thing I.e cancer, brain tumour, going blind. I can feel like this for weeks at a time. Hope you can all share your symptoms xx

3. Butterflies (intense nearly every day)

Wait - you said you get a sore jaw? I've been freaking out lately bc my jaw hurts off and on. I keep thinking that its a heart attack (I went online and said thats one of the symtoms). Jaw pain can be attributed to anxiety?

[CharlieM]

Anne,

Yes jaw pain can def be attributed to anxiety. I know I sometimes clench my teeth when I am anxious. If I chew some gum or eat, it eases. This surely means it is anxiety and not heart related??!!!

I am really struggling right now as I type. My butterflies are as bad as they have ever been. Chest tight and left arm almost numb. Sooooooo scared right now.

Omg Geordie Paul I get the strange feeling on my face but its my right side. This is worse when my attacks get worse x

[geordie_paul]

Yeah i squeeze my face muscles and one side just feels... straneg i guess hard to explain!

See our monds are too powerfull but we must learn to ignore these bodily sensations. I bet most peple get the same sensations but where they dismiss them we focus on them. Its just how do we learn to dismiss them too? I hope to find out soon :)
