So much anxiety but little to no panic attacks?!

[clank]

Hi guys, I have a lot of anxiety, and I usually never have panic attacks, well atleast thats what I think! I could be having them and not knowing it but i'm not sure. Last night I had a two nights ago I had a pretty bad anxiety attack due to me having an aura migraine with no headache. The thing is, that has been my first anxiety attack in 5-6 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I have tons of anxiety and worry about every little thing. I just don't have that many anxiety attacks. Does anyone else have tons of anxiety but very little actual anxiety attacks?

The people who get recurring panic attacks are more likely to have panic disorder, where as you may have either generalised anxiety disorder and health anxiety, which can cause panic attacks from time to time but not as often and severe as those with panic disorder.
I hope this helps!

i have bad anxiety but have reduced my circle of activity so much that i dont have panic attacks so much however this is very limiting and stopping me having any kind of normal life

Same here. I've never had a panic attack but I have really bad social anxiety.

I used to get panic attacks when I was younger but haven't had one for years. I think I learned to some extent how to deal with them but I have never learned to deal with HA.
