anxiety questions i dont understand

Posted , 4 users are following.

right i should ask my doctor this but as i only have a 10 minute appointment and your only aloud to ask/say one symtoms i wonder if anybody else knows 

do you have to have panic attacks to be suffering anxiety ?

do you have to have adrenline to have symtoms ?

do you have to have a panic attack/worry to suffer anxiety breathing problems ?

is having horrible/death/health/general worries and thoughts/daydreams normal anxiety symtoms or is this another condition example hear a loud bang automatically think burgular start having daydreams /thoughts about what your going to do and start worrying about what they may do to ect ? is that anxiety or totally diffrent (not really a good example i have much worse thoughts about death ect )

does your heart have to race to be having a panic attack ?

these are questions nobody has ever answered and even google doesnt because it always comes up with panic attack ect when symtoms list comes up .

    Hi Steph I'm not medically trained so these are just my experience/opinion.

    1 ....no

    2......yes

    3........anxiety/ worry yes

    4.......catasrophising is "normal" with anxiety. 

    5........if you are having a panic attack your heart will race but you don't need to be having a panic attack. Your heart will race with general anxiety.

    this is just my opinion remember.

    Steph,

    I have similar symptoms to you and I would book a double appointment to see your GP, that is what i do plus take a copy of your questions with you and give it to them.

    Regards
