Nessa when it comes on do you feel like you cant breathe or take a deep enough breath?

If it goes on do you get tingling in your finger tips or toes?

Do you feel a terrible feeling in terror that you cant escape?

If so its likely an anxiety attack which can be triggered by stress.


If you get them try to walk or pace to use up the adrenaline your body is over creating, take deep even breaths and open a window. If you can, run a warm bath and get in.

If your still not calming down get a brown paper bag if you can empty and breathe into it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
