right i should ask my doctor this but as i only have a 10 minute appointment and your only aloud to ask/say one symtoms i wonder if anybody else knows
do you have to have panic attacks to be suffering anxiety ?
do you have to have adrenline to have symtoms ?
do you have to have a panic attack/worry to suffer anxiety breathing problems ?
is having horrible/death/health/general worries and thoughts/daydreams normal anxiety symtoms or is this another condition example hear a loud bang automatically think burgular start having daydreams /thoughts about what your going to do and start worrying about what they may do to ect ? is that anxiety or totally diffrent (not really a good example i have much worse thoughts about death ect )
does your heart have to race to be having a panic attack ?
these are questions nobody has ever answered and even google doesnt because it always comes up with panic attack ect when symtoms list comes up .
Hi Steph I'm not medically trained so these are just my experience/opinion.
1 ....no
2......yes
3........anxiety/ worry yes
4.......catasrophising is "normal" with anxiety.
5........if you are having a panic attack your heart will race but you don't need to be having a panic attack. Your heart will race with general anxiety.
this is just my opinion remember.
I also would like to know the answers of 1st 2 questions since i am new to this and i have been having constant symptoms without any panic attacks , i have had panic attacks but only twice
Steph,
I have similar symptoms to you and I would book a double appointment to see your GP, that is what i do plus take a copy of your questions with you and give it to them.

thankyou so much i suppose its lack of understanding and even though i got given alot of info from cbt they was mostly on panic attacks thats i no longer suffer from so it just seems alot of us are confussed because we dont know the answers and alot have symtoms all day without panic/adrenline but still get told its anxiety thanks
