What does an anxiety attack feel like?!
Question: For about the past six months I think I've been having anxiety attacks. I get these horrible feelings of dread and then my head starts spinning and I get strange pressing chest pains, I also cry sometimes, but not always. I've been keeping track and for about the first three months, I would have one about once a month, but in these last three months, I've been having one every 1-2 weeks. I'm not sure if they are anxiety attacks or what else they might be. The only reason I'm asking is because I recently had one while as was at work and so I am starting to get really worried. I'm a little embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. Are these anxiety attacks? If so, what steps should I take to make them stop?
Answers: I have a panic disorder, I know exactly how you feel. You need to go to a doctor and tell him/her whats going on. Im sure they can help by giving you something to control those bothersome panic attacks
