Symptoms

[Josephine815]

Hi everyone. What physical symptoms do you feel when your anxiety kicks in or you have a panic attack? I feel like my heart is going to pop out of my chest. Pins and needles in my legs and my head among others 😢

All of the above Josephine. Panic Attacks come quickly and can leave just as fast.

It's that rush of Adrenaline that puts the fear in us, that produces the Fight or Flight

Response. When there really isn't any danger. In turn, our heart beats faster as

well as our breathing and physical symptoms appear such as what you are experiencing.

To reduce the symptoms you are experiencing can be done through daily Meditation which

would keep your mind and body in a more calming state. Practicing Diaphragmatic breathing can also help.

Here is just one of the Meditation I do 3x a day which can be found on YouTube

"Guided Mindfulness Meditation to Overcome Anxiety & Fears" by Mindful Peace.

Wishing you well, wishing you Peace & Calm xx

Thank you for your reply. Some times I feel I'm the only one in the world going through this. It drains me. I will try the meditation you recommended. I wish you all the best as well.

Beta Blockers are great for this. I take Metoprolol. Its made a huge difference. Speak with your doctor

I've only really suffered from this a couple of times but as has already been mentioned beta blockers in the short term are very good. Worked for me.
