I have been having a good day so far and now I'm having a bad anxiety attack, feels like I can't breathe my stomach feels full of air I'm sweating bullets and hands are tingling, is this anxiety or could I be in danger
brandon,
It sounds like a full blown panic attack. I know the symptoms make you feel like something horrible is happening, but it's just the darn anxiety. Try some breathing techniques as they will, hopefully, help.
It’s anxiety nothing more and nothing less. Try allowing the sensations to be there without reacting to them, this takes time and patience but once you lose your fear of it they will reduce in strength and frequency
Your in full flight or fight mode brandon , adrenaline, coursing through your body.
Sounds like a good ol panic attack. These are terrifying, ugh. If the symptoms don't go away within a day or so, maybe head to your Dr just to be sure everything is fine.
A panic attack only lasts about an hour at most - then usually ull have less severe anxiety symptoms after, these lasting up to a few hours, days or more.
If the symptoms you mentioned subside, then I wouldn't worry about anything wrong with you other than you had a panic attack. I see a therapist for mine, it helps a lot.
I have mentioned the different symptoms to my dr a month or two ago, the not being able to take a breath is alarming, he did listened to my lungs and heart and said everything is good, I recently started taking fluextine 60mg in the last few weeks and have noticed my anxiety has gotten better except for this morning
