Are anxiety attacks and Deja vu the same?!
Question: Are anxiety attacks and Deja vu the same!?
Could anxiety trigger this!? I am known in the family as a worry wort:
Sometimes I get what I can only describe as "deja vu" attacks!. I call them attacks because they are quite frightening, though there is no immediate danger present when they happened!. They are triggered by normal everyday activities, (this first one was cleaning out a bird cage) and can even happen during sleep so that I wake up having them during the night!. After i got married, they seemed to stop (about 2-3 years ago) and they have recently started up again!.
Basically (again) I can be doing just about anything (sleeping, cleaning house, working), and I suddenly get this eerily cold feeling all over and an AWFUL smell in my nose ( no one else smells it) and the feeling like I know EXACTLY what will be said or done next!. I find myself desperately trying to do something DIFFERENT (as calmly as I can) to break out of the "haze" (for lack of a better term)!. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!. They normally last for about a minute or so, and I'm almost shaking when they are over!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Anxiety or panic attacks usually involve feeling extremely fearful for no specific reason and may include physical manifestations like sweating, tightening of the throat, racing heart beat and even chest pain for some people!.
What you describe doesn't sound like that!.
Deja vu is a vague feeling that something you experienced right now has a strange connection to something you may have done before!. It's probably related to the experience of dissociation, or unreal feeling, described in mental health!. This can be indirectly related to anxiety although the feeling can be very different!.
However, what you describe doesn't sound like dissociation or deja vu either!.
Feeling cold, and having a sensation of smelling something that other people don't smell could be another type of mental health symptom, or maybe something with the nervous system!.
If this is really bothering you, it would be a good a idea to see a doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

They aren't the same, Deja Vu is when you are experiencing something, that just feels like its happened before, same room same people, but you can't actually recall when it happened or anything!.
These experiences could give you anxiety though, I suggest you go and see a doctor about this, if its interfering with your everyday life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anxiety (panic) attacks are much worse than the deja vu!. Your heart pounds, your hyperventilate, you feel like you are going to die!.
They are similar in that they both come out of nowhere!. But panic attacks are terrifying, while the dejavu is merely creepy!. Panic attacks last longer, probably 4-5 minutes - seem like forever!.
