Sudden constant anxiety attacks

I have all sorts of different symptoms with anxiety. It all started with worrying that I have heart problems but the doctor has done EKG and full blood work and everything was fine they said. They blame it all on anxiety. Mine comes and goes much like yours but I usually wake up with it and then it can slowly taper through the day. It usually starts with just one small feeling and that starts the cycle of panic and then many random symptoms. Anxiety is weird and the list of symptoms it can cause is endless.

I think we all have it so you are not alone. The actual symptoms are very similiar and tend to even change over time. It does come and go, it comes and goes in intensity as well. Sometimes symptoms pop up triggering the whole mess too. It seems to be random and produce whatever symptoms it wants, when it wants. Theres all different theories behind it and why and when it occurs, but putting that aside, it sucks and all a person can do is self calm it and  or ride thru the panic attacks. Best method is catching it in the earliest stages and self calming it. Easier said then done at times. When you get used or accustomed to certain symptoms the fear is gone so those symptoms calm down..but for some reason you do get new ones. Then it figuring out what is anxiety related and what isn't. I have had this long enough i guess to catch it most of the time, sometimes i cant stop it. I cant stand it. Im trying to deal with health ailments i have been diagnosed with then these anxiety symptoms chime in and its hard at times. I end up ignoring everything and just doing mindful breathing and wait for the whole anxiety mess to pass. It does pass. I have been stuck in cycles that last weeks not sure what that is about ..but it all does pass. Then im good for a while. In really extreme times i take a xanax. This disorder can happen with or without a disease or ailment, but they do co exist. Theres no real point after you get a full exam or two to pursue  looking for a disease. Makes it all more freightening. At that point accept it. Feels the same anyway. 

 

This happens to me all the time. I started suffering from bad anxiety about 3-4 months ago. I literally had anxiety symptoms everyday until about a week ago. It was constant not being able to take a deep breath or yawn and feeling like I had a lump in my throat. I was always lightheaded and my whole body would get tingly. No matter how hard I tried to calm down I just couldn't. I went o the hospital almost every other day for a panic attack. I recently started on 10mg of paxil and now I'm up to 20mg . I think it's working bc I don't have the constant anxiety symptoms. I'm now learning that when I do get symptoms that thinking about them only makes them worse and drives me into panic. Bc it is a scary thing to deal with.

have you tried bereavement counselling? It may resolve your panic attacks.

Hi i have the exact same symptoms and atm get these attacks often mostly when im exhausted physically so nearly every night.

I find what causes them is a feeling of frustration with how my life is atm its been tough and i cant seem to win plus i smoke and as much as i want to quit cant quite manage. this seems to top it off because ive now past thirty and the paranoia of getting cancer sets in.

Im trying to change my lifestyle but its hard with all the other responsibility. Knowing that im not the only who feels this way makes me feel better and also remembering that iv had these attacks before and its just anxiety attack. even though its suprising how ill they can make you feel.

I think the key to getting rid is to try and get to a place in life where you feel you are enjoying yourself and the stress doesnt follow you to bed. I dont think the drugs can give your the self belief you need to overcome them for good
