I new here and new to  anxiety and panic attack disorder. When I get hit with a attack my eyes  dilate I get  dizzy and numbness in my feet and hands. I also get pail and heart starts racing. My taste buds taste like  metallic or metal. And if I don’t get control it keep repeating over and over for about 30min. I started  Paxil about a month ago and life has been better. Just making sure I have  anxiety. I have been tested for everything and my  Doctor say I’m in the best health and I have a  anxiety panic attack disorder heavily. What do you guys think do you have the same things going on.

Keep a journal, learn how to change your thought patterns, and stay hydrated.

You are learning how anxiety works for you in the moment.

When I have a panic attack I get a lot of symptoms like I'm about to have a stroke.. and I get this weird feeling where I feel like I can move my limbs but I'm not really in control of them.. it's hard to explain but it's just as scary every time one happens..

I feel like I have to get out of the room, and it's like a 'fight or flight' adrenaline rush

When I was having panic attacks it was scary and debilitating at times. I saw a physician and they put me on lexapro, which I hated because I felt lethargic all the time and it had put fat around my waist as I try to keep fit all my life. I decided I did not want to feel that way on medication and tried to be free of those chemical being put into my body..I decided to use psychotherapy and redirect my thoughts when the attack started and once I was mindful of those things and continually did this my attacks went away.....I haven't had an attack in over 10 years!!
