Anxiety and Panic Attacks - Physical Symptoms?

Can anxiety and panic attacks cause physical symptoms?

Anxiety Question:

Can anxiety and panic attacks cause physical symptoms even when not feeling anxious and panicky?

Anxiety Answer:

YES.

For me I get hot, then clammy, then my stomach hurts, my heart beats fast, before these physical symptoms I wouldn't be anxious or panicky but I definitely am during/afterwards.

A lot of times I feel dizzy but not anxious or panicky.

A good way to think about anxiety and how it leads to panic attacks is a downward spiral.

First you feel a physical symptom, then it makes you 'think' about it, then you get another physical symptom, you start thinking and focusing more on your symptoms, before you know it you're sweating and you think you're going to have a heart attack.

Try to learn to realize the 'spiral' is beginning and try to stop it at 'round' 1, 2 or 3 using breathing techniques and thinking nice thoughts.

Dealing with Anxiety Advice

No more anxiety medication needed!

At the time I discovered your "Dissolving Panic and Anxiety" CD, I had been suffering from an anxiety disorder and panic attacks for about ten years. I'd been hoping to get off medication, but I just couldn't do it.

About two months ago, I decided to try your program and I can honestly say that it truly works!!!! I started listening to it at night before bed, and within days, I was actually falling asleep easily for the first time in ages and a week or two later, didn't need medications anymore! I haven't had a panic attack since I started this program, nor have I needed any medication!

This program is FABULOUS! Life deals us so many issues that doctors often try to help us with by masking them with meds, but we're not really dealing with the problem at hand, just numbing the pain. Your program helps us to realize that the problem is there, yes, but it can be dealt with by simply changing our way of thinking. I LOVE it!!!

Thank you with all my heart!
