what are the physical symptoms you people get during these times of panic or anxiety?

I get hot flashes or cold sweat, vertigo, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath. Sometimes I also get stomach crampsor nausea and an urgent need to go to the bathroom.

Well my symptoms consist of dizziness, scary thoughts, heart racing, cold feet, and feelings of bewilderment.

heart palpitations, cold sweat, dizziness, numbness in legs or arms, shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, bewilderment.

I get heart palpitations and cold sweat every time, but the rest take turns.

Stomach hurts, dizzyness, palms sweat, confusion, heart pounds, dry mouth, can't breathe.

I would get all of the above plus what my brother calls 'the skin crawl' ! My mind would also race. Like I was going 99 mph.

My symptoms are the scary thoughts and bewilderment. I do not like the bewilderment feeling. Its hard for me to concetrate, especially when I am at school; I feel like I am just stareing into space, not all there and really dizzy. I just want it to go away, but I dont know how.

I just realized thanks to someone above posting that maybe it's not been hot flashes/coldness from menopause all these years but anxiety. I also have the feelings to cry often and then I want to run because of facing embarassment. My chest feels great pressure, recently I had pain going down both arms, pain between my shoulder blades (sounds like a heart attack) Nope, went to ER last wk.at the advice of my husband and friend. Dr. said it was acid reflux. Nope, the pill didn't help so I took xanax a couple days in a row..that's what it was.

My heart races. I don't look at people when I am in a store. I'm paranoid anyway. I keep my eyes forward and to the floor.
