Dear Truatheart,
My anxiety symptoms have changed over time.
As a child it manifested as a fear of going to school. There were bullies there so it seemed to make sense.
Then I had stomach cramps with cold/hot flashes which usually woke me up in the middle of the night. No nightmare or anything. Just sudden pain.
Sometimes diarrhea when awake if I got really excited good or bad.
Then I got the shakes - shivering like I was cold but I wasn't, sometimes more like involuntary muscle movement.
Lately, I get the hot flash, adrenaline, spaciness, and the fear it will never stop.
When I am not having an actual attack there are the ever present racing thoughts. The scary ones are well, scary. Constant, rapid thinking about having to clean the bathroom just gets really annoying.
I hope this helps your understanding of anxiety symptoms.

What a list we all could build here! I will list my major symptoms, in order of severity, with the most severe first.
- feeling of impending doom
- inner "jitters" and shakiness
- fear of dying
- depersonalization
- major fatigue (want to take naps throughout the day)
- bouts of anger
- doubting not only myself, but others
- chest pain and pressure
- feeling that I cannot swallow
- insomnia (waking up and not able to get back to sleep)
And, the list goes on! Typical symptoms of those that mimic IBS. Hot flashes, inability to concentrate, on and on.
Good luck to US all.

Before I went through the program, this is what I had:
Nausea
Rapid heartbeat
Sweating/hot flash
Losing my mind
Couldn't swallow my own saliva, had to spit
Choking feeling in throat
Chest pain
Tingling probably from hyperventilating
Had to get out, strong flight/fight response
Irritated
Then, I'd get depressed or mad afterwards
After going through the program, I have had relapses here and there, but if it wasn't for the program, I wouldn't be able to live my life the way I am now. I still experience nausea every once in a while, but when I am getting anxious, I am able to shrug it off and go about my day.
I suffered from anxiety disorder/panic attacks ever since I was a child. I'm 31 now but then, I never thought I'd get better. For those who feel the same way, don't let the devil think that you can ever overcome him. With God's help, you can do it and you will do it. I believe everyone here can overcome. I came to realize one day that after all these attacks and symptoms, I'm still here, stronger than ever. Even feeling all that fear, you need to realize, you're still here and going strong.

Awful migraines
Pressure feeling in my head
Tunnel Vision
Adrenaline rushes out of nowhere
Heart flutters
I.B.S.
No motivation
Restlessness
Crying for no reason
Feeling scared all the time
No appetite
I have overcame most of these feelings.I still get headaches and crazy vision from time to time but everything else has subsided.
