Chest tightness, dizziness, clenched jaw, nausea, tunnel vision, disassociation, shakiness, intestine spasms and diarrhea (also have IBS), breathlessness, racing heart, numb hands/feet. During my worst panic attacks these all happen. With normal anxiety it's usually less intense and no tunnel vision or disassociation. Good luck to you! Anxiety blows 😔

juliecarlstan

Varied, getting more severe up to and including grand Mal seizures. If this is a question for you please seek out the earliest treatment options you feel comfortable with, anxiety compounds and grows so quickly.

All of the above and some social anxiety

joyjoytsak

Hard-core adrenaline, heart rate up, sweating, fainting. I'm like one of those little ladies from old school movies, hand on my head passing out.

extremely shaky hands, racing heart, nausea, headache, disassociation, clenched jaw, twitching, pressure on my heart, vertigo

MissSunflowers

Severe dissociation that last for days or weeks

wise

during acute anxiety I can physically feel the adrenaline being squeezed out of my adrenaline glands and rushing through my spinal fluid. if it's something that's triggered my PTSD then I usually just dissociate for a while and don't remember anything lol

BonnBonn

The adrenaline rush, shakiness, heart palpitations, tense muscles, sometimes nausea depending on other factors like when I last ate.

mines mostly chest related symptoms. my heart starts racing, i get palpitations, and my chest feels like i just did an intensive workout. if it’s really bad i’ll get all of the above plus being hot, sweaty, pumped with adrenaline, extremely weak, dissociation, feeling like i’m going to faint, and feeling of impending doom.

Heart rate increases, tightness in my chest, jitters and fidgeting, being lightheaded or feeling faint, nausea, indigestion, hyperventilation, fatigue, sensitivity to stimuli like sound and light, headaches. Lots of fun stuff

baybridges

With me I begin to panic then hyperventilating and then sometimes if its bad enough I stop breathing and just hold my breath till it goes away

Sweetpea94

I go dead silent and then I begin to twitch while hyperventilating and crying. What helps is when I'm being held tightly like a big hug.
