My heart races and I go into a cold sweat. My mind races and I work myself up so much I feel sick and can't eat. I know I need food but just the thought of eating makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Sometimes if I work myself up too much I go into panick attacks and lose track of where I'm at.

I'm so glad I found this group. Now I don't feel so alone with what I'm feeling.

Mine are usually heart racing, shaking, sweating and dizziness.

Physical pain
Getting scare that something is wrong with me
Getting upset at people for minor things
Muscle pain
Allergies
Pounding heart (luckily not so offen)
Lack of confidence
Wanting to avoid uncomfortable situations

Wow, so many varied symptoms!

I've apparently been an anxious person all my life, unrecognized. And I'm a sensitive. My anxiety attacks started about 15 years ago and now include:

Chills, shaking
Pounding heart
Elevated blood pressure.
Tight/tensed muscles
Tight chest
Dizziness, nausea
Burning in chest, throat, stomach, thighs
Fear - Lots of that.

I don't consciously have social anxiety - I enjoy being out - but I only recently made the connection between my sensitive nature and the stress I feel in Some social situations. Its there, I just hadn't added things up.

I also get the racing heart sometimes when I first wake up, but its not an anxiety attack; its separate.

Panic attacks, that last for 3-5 minutes (difficult breathing)
Hard to focus or concentrate
Loss of memory
My mind "checks out" and I can't remember simple words
Mood swings
Fits of anger
I seclude myself from people
Headaches
Mumble my words
Tired
Overwhelmed

I get shoulder and neck cramping, trouble breathing, and dizziness. Hate it when it happens at work. I usually go to my car, take my meds, and lie down in my back seat for about 10 minutes.

Chest tightness
Difficulty breathing
Dizziness
Strong feeling like I'm about to pass out
Ringing in ears
Tingling in arms/hands
Legs feel like jello
Feeling disconnected or spaced out
