When I am close to a full panic attack I tremble, and I get tunnel vision and tunnel hearing. The fight or flight response is in me and I liken it to being an animal and not human. I am all instinct.

For my anxiety, my leg trembles all the time, skin lesions, sleep disorder, IBS, and nervous awareness of everything around me

That tunnel vision and hearing freaked me out the most. I went to get my eyes checked and the doctors told me it was normal. What about headaches or like body soreness? Do you get that?

Also, thank you for replying. This is all so new to me and it’s incredible to talk to someone who can relate about this.

No headaches or soreness. I remember that my last panic attack happened in the ER and I was sedated to calm me down.

My normal level of anxiety (high... I mean really high) I do have soreness and suffer from migraines.

Are you talking with someone about your anxiety? A therapist is a good person to help you deal with this.

Hello YF. Welcome to the forum.

My lifelong anxiety is severe enough to be an attack on my entire nervous system. The physical side effects can and do manifest just about everywhere my nervous system goes. I don't know if I have the energy or interest to type the all. Imitation heart attacks and irritable bowels are my most persistent physical symptoms.

Yea, I started having extra and more severe panic attacks in March, too, and they have escalated for the entire marshal law experience. Are the germaphobes safe yet?

Healing hopes for all. No exceptions.

Thor thank you. I also deal with daily headaches and soreness. That”s been the biggest issue with me so far. I only have my girlfriend to talk to really. My parents and other friends seem more disbelief and think it’s something that i can easily control. I am seeing a psychiatrist on Monday. It will be my first time, i am really hoping it helps.
Has it helped you?

Arfie I’m so sorry you have it so extreme. Thank you for even fighting through it enough to write me. I’ve only had one Panic attack that has sent me to the ER. That was my first one. Since then my physical symptoms have grown so much. I get new symptoms like every week. As of right now though its been mainly migraines and forearm pain. I really do hope you are able to find some type of relief. I hope we all can.

My symptoms are a racing heart, physically shaking, gasping for air, and a feeling of dread and fear

Kisses I get those symptoms in the midst of a panic attack. But do you ever have any daily symptoms like soreness or migraines? Maybe chest pain? I”m only asking cause this is what’s been happening with me lately. With or without panic attacks I’m still experiencing real physical symptoms.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

Keep a daily journal and write out all your symptoms.

I endured panic attacks with tunnel vision and hyper hearing being the last to go away. The headaches and soreness are common as well.

I had to make sure to stay hydrated, and to relax my shoulders along with even breathing to reduce the physical symptoms during active episodes of anxiety and panic.

Best wishes as you find your way to a better balance.

Thank you Mid! What were some thing you did to help you relax your shoulders? Staying hydrated is the new thing I’m learning. I just started my daily journal, hopefully it helps! Hope your doing good as well!

Keeping the daily journal helped me to sort through the patterns of the soreness and headaches.

Roll the shoulders and lift your head and bend your head chin to front. Both directions rolling.

Here's to everyone doing better, whatever it takes!

Mid Awesome, doing this now. Thanks!

That's great that you have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Monday. I think that will really help you. I see my psychiatrist every few months.

I have had anxiety disorder and panic attacks for over 20 years. Just know that it won't kill you, you aren't dying (even though it can feel like it, when you are in the middle of it!). In fact, I had a panic attack just this morning! What I do, is distractions. Start doing something else. The more you *think* about panicking, the more you will panic. Just go about your day, do what you were going to do before the anxiety started.

Also, basic things such as daily exercise, get outside, try to eat pretty healthy, have some people that you talk to and socialize with. Do you have a pet? That can help calm anxiety, as well.

You are going to be okay! Like I said, I just had a panic attack this morning, and now I'm on here, so I must be okay and I lived through it :)

Girlin Thank you so much! You’re absolutely right and I been hearing about eating healthy, does it really help? I’ve notice going for a walk calms me but I’m thinking about weight lifting as well. Not sure if that strain from weight lifting would be good or not, any advice on that? And yea I definitely need to stop thinking about it, i spend most of my time worrying when it’s going to happen again or what new physical symptoms will be next. It’s just all fresh and new to me since it’s only been a couple of months. Any other tips would be awesome. Glad you still have a positive attitude through it all!

Tight chest, left arm pain, sweaty palms and feet, pit in my stomach, loss of appetite and migraines.

Kenz these are literally my exact symptoms plus sometimes i get a ringing in my ear and leg cramps. Are there any tips that you can give that help you?
