Evening all,

I don't know what the difference is between Panic Attacks and Anxiety Attacks. Can anyone help me?

My physical symptoms have come back over these last 3 weeks or so. I don't ever hyperventilate with chest pain and have to sit down or anything. It is more that I have nagging pains in my left arm and the left side of my chest, right where my heart is daily for this period of time. I guess I worry why these pains are there and that it shouldn't be normal to feel those pains.

Also, I feel light headed and not quite with it constantly for the past 3 weeks as well.

I haven't had anything to feel stressed or anxious about and these symptoms just started to come on again just as I was starting to feel happy with life again. It seems that whenever I start to feel happy with life (no pains) that this is when they start again! Like I'm not aloud to feel happy and content.

I am a 27 year old male and I visit the gym 5 - 6 times per week to weight train and I eat a strict healthy diet. Therfore, I deem myself to be physically fit. (NONE of these pains are from the gym)

If anyone has any words of wisdom or advice for me and can answer any of the questions in this post then, they are greatly appreciated.

I just want to feel happy and I don't understand why as soon as I get happy these stupid pains come back!!! Therfore In the back of my mind I think I worry there may be something physically wrong with me???

In my opinion they are very difference.

A panic attack is on the far end of the scale!
