New Body Symptoms???

Today, I think it was a anxiety attack but it did not come on like they normally do. I felt a headache come on and my face got hot. I did not feel well when I could feel a panic attack coming on. I tried to relax and let it come on but instead of it just coming out like a panic attack my heart started beating fast but it lasted for about 15 minutes. When I have my anxiety attacks they come on full force then they are done. In this case it just sat there. Even though my heart was beating fast I could still feel the anxiety just sitting there. It scared me cause I felt weird and my heart just kept beating really fast. Can anyone help with this one cause it really has scared me!! Thanks

Rosaslie,

What were you thinking about when you went into this panic attack. sometimes when i have mine that last for long periods i have noticed that i had been thinking of something that was bugging me especially when there is allot going on.

Rosalie...One's heart does beat really fast during a panic attack. One's face also gets really hot...All of these symptoms are very normal. You are just having panic attack...Try not to focus so much on your symptoms...You will be fine...God Bless

In the last two months I've had all kinds of new symptoms with my panic attacks that I never had before which only made me more panicky because I wasn't familiar with these symptoms. Just keep telling yourself it's just anxiety and when you really believe that it should help you not to fear these new symptoms as much.

Hello..
It's important to understand that panic symptoms can manifest itself in allot of different ways. When you understand this, you can get past the new symptoms and any other strange new symptoms. . .. I do not doubt that this new symptom you experienced was part of your panic. When it comes on, remind yourself of this. That it's "just my anxiety and it will go away".
I read a great line in Guidebook session 8: "Fake it till' you make it" I laughed out loud when I read this because that's what I do at work all the time when I am feeling panicky . Just hang in there, and tell yourself that you will get through it.. No matter what the 'new' strange bodily symptom is..

I keep a little gemstone in my pocket and on it are the words RELAX engraved. I grab onto it in my pocket when I am feeling panicky and it works. Perhaps you have something that you can refer to?

Good luck & God Bless

You will get through it. ... you always do .. .

this topic has helped me out alot. I am constantly learning how to handle one symptom and get in a routine of how and what to expect and then just when i think its under control alittle bit, it changes and i feel different or it happens in a different way and i get afraid. but i do try to make myself keep positive thoughts and pray and undertand that its just anxiety.

This is also helping me out also because I have noticed that some of the anxiety symptoms/panic symptoms have been different than what I am used to having in the past, so it starts to frighten me or make me more anxious. I noticed yesterday I just started to feel very shaky and almost like I needed to sit down but then I felt anxious also. My heart did not race (thank God!) but I noticed that I felt so uneasy...I started to get a little panicky but I just talked myself through it. I had all these crazy thoughts in my head that it could be this, could be that, but then I stopped and thought...I have been checked inside out for all these things that I could "think" I have right now and everything turned out fine, so I just tried to float with the feelings. I just don't like when those feelings come, or when I feel weird, and especially when it is a new symptom, unlike those that I am familiar with.
It's good to hear that new symptoms can arise, but I just have to float with it and tell myself that the feeling will pass.
Thanks everyone!
