Can you describe your anxiety attacks?

That sounds similar to me. The rush of adrenaline starts it normally, then pounding heart, shortness of breath, sometimes my vision gets funny, a sense of detachment, impeding doom, thirsty, sometimes facial and hand numbness. You know, super fun. :)

Sudden feeling that something bad is going to happen to me, flushing of the neck and face, short of breath, rapid heart, sensitive to light, ice cold hands and feet, shaking, inability to sit still, racing thoughts. Ugh! Panic attacks suck!

Mine always starts with a massive rush of tingles down the back of my neck and feeling really cold, then my vision goes blurry... After that I get the pounding in my chest and 'forget' how to breathe and think im going to die, causing more pounding in chest... vicious circle!!

Hate anxiety attacks :(

Mine almost always starts with a hot flush from top of my head to my chest. Then my heart races, I start sweating in my hands and get very warm. Hyperventilate also at the same time and have shortness of breath, which doesn't make things better for me.

1039,

Mine start with changes in perception, everything looks weird. I flush and start sweating, heart rate increases, I get nauseous, have a sense of impending doom, most times I throw up. Then I live in a state of disconnect, every pain in my body is intensified, hyper vigilance, chest pain, and fatigue/depression for the rest of the day. And insomnia at night. And the cycle repeats itself every single day.

Wah :'( as I reread it I realize I'm missing a lot of symptoms but that's all the complaining I'm going to do for now! Ha ;)

I get everything you all mentioned plus the freaky inability to speak. I literally cannot get words out....at all. It's scary as heck, and weird and embarrassing. My mind goes TOTALLY blank and I cannot function at all for a minute or so. Anyone else ever have this???

Hahaha Lisa!!! I get the poop thing too. :)

I usually have my heart start to pound, feel like I can't breathe, chest feels tight, get shaky, and feel like I'm going to die. Not cool..
