I've just replied to another thread on this board, and be coincidence it's about something that I have been pondering for a while... and that is, the ongoing, 24/7, non-stop symptoms of anxiety - how they start and all the trouble they can cause.
Thing is, it strikes me that a lot of the symptom explanations that you find are about "sudden fear" whereas I think a lot of people on here would agree, anxiety is more a constant fear - which makes the symptoms therefore constant. You might not be having palps 24/7 but something like dizziness can crop up all the time without you expecting it. I thought it might be helpful for others if we can offload all the ongoing symptoms that we have now found out to be "just anxiety" into one thread, so that if someone is experiencing X, Y or Z they may be more inclined to consider that anxiety may be also be a cause or that experience, not just an effect. I.e. but my headache/breathing problems have gone on all day, so it can't possibly be a panic attack, it must be *insert serious illness here*.

I edited out a list of symptoms I started here as it's not helpful... But will leave the posts below as they are more helpful, I think it's good for those newly embracing the idea of treating their anxiety to know that it's not a quick fix in terms of symptoms, you body is wired, and it can take a while to come down, so yes symptoms can continue even if you aren't actively worrying - so try not to allow them to kick off the cycle again!
