AndreUIUC,
Welcome to our support community! We are always available to answer any questions you have and our members are full of great support and advice. We encourage you to start working through the program and learning more about your generalized anxiety, symptoms of panic attacks and how to control your thoughts. There is a lot of really great information for you read.
Also, it's important to journal your thoughts and symptoms so you can start to see if there is any pattern associated with your anxiety. You mentionned that you generally don't feel anxious so this would be a good exercise for you to try.
Here are some normal symptoms that people experience during panic attacks:
- racing or pounding heart
- chest pain or discomfort
- tingling or numbness
- dizziness, faintness, feeling unsteady
- hot flushes or cold chills
- muscle tightness
- fear of dying
- blurred vision
- feelings of unreality
- shaking, trembling
- nausea, stomach problems
- feeling light headed
- fear of losing control or going crazy
- difficulty breathing
