Anxiety Attack Symptoms

There are several types of anxiety disorders and their affects can vary from person to person. The one thing that they all have in common however is a severe of persistent fear of a place or situation that would not be threatening to most people. Common anxiety attack symptoms can be both physical and emotional and are often experienced in combination.

Anxiety can produce a wide range of physical symptoms and it is important to understand that you may not experience all of them. It is common for sufferers to mistake their anxiety for a physical illness before they are diagnosed as the symptoms can be similar to many other conditions. When having an anxiety attack it is common to have tremors, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, shortness of breath and a pounding heart. Excessive sweating, as well as frequent urination or diarrhoea is also common.

During an anxiety attack, the primary emotional symptom is an irrational and excessive fear. It is also normal to experience irritability, restlessness or a general feeling of dread or apprehension without knowing why. You may feel jumpy or tense and even experience moments where you mind goes blank and you have trouble concentrating on anything in particular. Unfortunately, such a state will only increase your levels of anxiety and distress.

Your anxiety attack symptoms may be triggered by a particular situation or event, but sometimes there is no obvious trigger and they seem to appear out of nowhere. Most people find that their symptoms will reach a peak after about 10 minutes or so and will rarely last longer than 30 minutes. Anxiety or panic attacks can be quite debilitating and often leave the sufferer with a fear that they may experience another one, especially if they are alone or in a public space.

It is important that you do not ignore your symptoms and seek help as soon as possible. Your general practitioner should be the first person you contact. Anxiety attacks can be treated very effectively and there is no need to suffer with this condition alone.
