Anxiety attack symptoms can range from mild to severe. There are way to many symptoms to be able to list them all. The list I have provided for you below are the most common symptoms. If you have a symptom that is not on the list don’t become alarmed. If you’re uncomfortable not knowing if a symptom you are experiencing is a symptom of anxiety or not, call your doctor and ask.

Anxiety attack symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. An anxiety attack can be very similar to a panic attack. Knowing your own body and mind is the key to knowing if there is cause for alarm.

If you think you have anxiety or have been diagnosed with anxiety, it is always a good idea to have a check-up and make sure there is not an underlining medical condition that is causing the symptoms instead of the anxiety. This check-up will reassure you that it is just anxiety and not a more serious problem. Ironically, just knowing that it is anxiety can make the process of getting through an anxiety attack a lot easier.

People who suffer from anxiety tend to start to believe that every ache and pain or symptom is going to cause them great harm. This is anxiety working overtime and my friends, that is the worst kind of anxiety attack.

Let’s look at those tell-tale signs of an anxiety attack. These symptoms are in no particular order, so if you experience the first three on the list that doesn’t mean your anxiety is any worse than if you have the last three symptoms on the list:

  •  Dizziness
  •  Shortness of breath or feeling unable to your catch breath
  •  Numbness is fingers, toes, arms or legs
  • Chest Pain
  •  Feeling that something bad is going to happen
  •  Sensation of a lump in the throat (although you can still swallow)
  •  Nausea or upset stomach
  •  Headaches
  • Feel like your heart is pounding out of your chest
  •  General ill feeling

The above are the most common, there are more symptoms of anxiety attacks. When you begin to experience symptoms of an anxiety attack, stop what you doing. Take a few deep breaths and do something you enjoy for a few minutes or until the attack passes.
