Do you ladies and gents think anxiety is dangerous?

Not really, just a real bad pain in the a**! I wish no one had to live with it. Peace

No, technically it is not dangerous, and it does not cause us to lose our minds/cognitive function...or to have a cardiac episode...it just feels like these things may be happening!

However, stress in an overall sense, is not healthy...so it is good to try to manage it to the best of our abilities for the long term.:)

I've lived with anxiety/panic attacks for almost 30yrs and am still here to talk about it. Dangerous, no. BUT, sometimes you really do feel as though you are on your way out. I'm still learning to cope which is why I joined this forum.

My hubby has improved every single testable criteria related to cardiac health, except weight, since he started having panic attacks. So, maybe it can even be anti-dangerous. It's a good motivator for skipping that extra butter or taking an evening stroll!

I'm trying to be funny. (Obviously, no career in comedy coming my way.)

Seriously, though, I don't think it's dangerous, it's just terribly unpleasant and it's best to manage it.
