These are all symptoms of panic attacks, but if you feel that there may be something more underlying, don't hesitate to go to a doctor.

Verbalizing and writing down your symptoms is a great start. Can you think of any triggers that may have started this? Writing those down is good too.

Don't go to symptom checking websites, don't google various illnesses. No one can diagnose you but a doctor with whom you are face to face.

Do you have a therapist?

This exact same thing happened to me during Easter Dinner! I am not including the exclamation point out of excitement, but it seems like I have finally come to a place where I am not the only one and people are living and coping with this. I see a therapist and she tells me that there is an underlying issue as to why these things happen. I have recently discovered that it is because I don't really trust myself. Weird? I know, but I am working through it. I hope you come out alright and remember that trouble doesn't last always. Stay encouraged.

Oh yes this happens to me during panic attacks often. Mainly feels uneasy at my stomach sometimes even getting sick.

i feel that way sometime too.

I feel the same way;; it makes no sense to me that everyone can control their emotions.. Yet I feel like I can't.

I read somewhere in this board that ppl with anxiety probs are usually smart people. If anything we are consistently thinking, our brains don't stop, we are also (usually) people pleasers. Keep these things in mind.

If ur prescribed meds, take them. Stay away from caffiene & ciggarettes;; they cause more anxiety. Try to relax && have fun. Laughter can help cure some of what ails you.. Hope ur having a better day! :)

I agree with Cassi

It might seem like everyone else around you is fine but you'd be surprised how many people feel exactly like you do. I believe that some people just can cover up better than others. I myself would "appear" to be one of these happy people but many times inside I am having either mild anxiety or a full out panic attack. I get mad because I hate how it has control over me so when I am out I fight it and continuously try to push it away, it's when I'm alone that it bothers me more. The chills and heart flutters are from the worry which then causes the anxious symtoms. Anxiety is mentally and physically exhausting but keep trying to get out and enjoy even the little things knowing this is just part of who you are. Many people choose medication which can help greatly in getting you into a different more positive mindset. I have taken it in the past when I was really having a terrible time and it honestly did help me see things in a more positive light and I was able to do so much more. Unfortunately, I am really anti-drug and very stubborn and am always fighting it. Obviously, most people would think I was crazy for doing this but I know when I'm at a point when I really need help and would not hesitate to go that route again. Feel better, take care.

Yep jazzmynn, I often think that everyone around me are okay and I am the lone Duck with this stuff. I keep looking around for someone to show sugns of anxuety disorder but I don't see any. Where are the rest of us 7% or whatever the percentage is of us? We can't all be here in DailyStrength.

Yes I feel this way a lot. I had been misDx for the last five years; just recently finding out that i have PTSD, and that is my main trigger from the abuse that I had went through for 10 years. I have a chronic case because I did not seek therapy until a month ago. I had been to numerous Drs. but never told them that I had been abused. So maybe you should look in to getting a therapist so that the two of you can get a hold on it right now instead of waiting like I did. Good luck to you and contiue to let us know how you are doing.

i am one that was very good at hiding my anxiety. i imagine that there are many other out there like me. we would probably be really surprised by who else out there has issues... things are not always as they seem.
