Please tell your physical symptoms when you are having an anxiety or panic attack. I have never had one before but I think I had one last night. I have read about the symptoms but I'd like to hear from real people the exact feelings they have.
Thanks so much!

Hi wellesly,
My panic attack symptoms usually start off by a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, tingling/numbness, feeling like I can't catch a breath and a feeling like I'm going to lose control. Everyone has different symptoms, these are typically what I get.
Take care, Cassia
Mine typically start off with a rapid heartbeat, feelings of the room spinning. My hands and feet also go numb and I get a disconnected feeling, I also shake alot and sometimes have hot/cold flashes.
Take Care
