For me its a sudden feeling or wave starting in my stomach then moved to my chest. Heart races mind races & gets foggy, vision blurrs. Hands & feet get sweaty & cold. But it passes & it will become less frequent in time. You'll see

Hi Beth, as described above I get that feeling in my stomach moving up to my chest and shoulder, it's like a burning/pins & needles. Then I get really agitated and have to move around. However, over this weekend I still get the feeling but less frequent so maybe the meds are starting to work.....hopefully.

Hi. My symptoms are now just tension headaches, dizziness and stiff neck. I did get advice on here that putting a hot pack on my neck will help with the tension and dizziness and it did. Can't wait til this dizziness episode passes. I can't tell you how many symptoms I've had already, it's ridiculous.  Anxiety sucks!

Did your symptoms ever go away? I've been dealing with this as well and every scan and blood work has come back as normal.
