Ethan Grays asked:
Anxiety & Panic Attacks are very common in today’s society and many people in every country suffer from them. The severity of the anxiety and panic attacks can differ from person to person and in a lot of cases can completely control lives. Many sufferers do not even believe or know that they even suffer from anxiety and panic attacks which can lead to the ailment really running out of control. So when it actually comes down to it what are the 10 most common Anxiety Panic Attacks Symptoms?
1. Nausea – A feeling of Nausea can come on quite quickly in certain situations and is one of the most common symptoms of Anxiety & Panic Attacks
2. Shaking – Shaking is also another of the most common and can be uncontrollable both on the inside and on the outside.
3. Fear – The fear of losing control or a feeling of “Going Crazy” is also another common symptom for anxiety attack sufferers.
4. Stomach Cramps – Stomach cramps can tie in with the feeling of Nausea and are quite commonly linked with Panic Attacks.
5. Depersonalization – Another feeling of not being in control when you can have an out of body experience.
6. Numbness – Numbness and Tingling especially within the face can be another common symptom amongst Panic Attack sufferers.
7. Hot Flushes – Chills and hot flushes effect almost all Anxiety disorder sufferers and are one of the first signs that an attack is about to happen.
8. Palpitations – A rapid heart beat and palpitations within the chest during before, during and after an attack are very common.
9. Shortness Of Breath – Chest tightening can be a common symptom in Anxiety sufferers resulting in shortness of breath.
10. Skin Colour – Your skin can also lose colour during an attack and is common in most sufferers.
These 10 Anxiety Panic Attacks Symptoms above are generally most common but are just scratching the surface. There are many symptoms that are not as noticeable as the ones above and can creep on at a moments notice striking fear in any sufferer, however severe.

beall e asked: I think I have performance anxiety. I realized this at least a year ago and it has been plaguing me for a few years now. I’m a senior in high school now and I want to try some kind of remedy. I’ve looked for Bach’s Rescue Remedy but the stores around me don’t have it. I’m wondering if St. John’s Wort would be good for me? If so how much should I take? I’ve attempted to talk with my mom about my anxiety before but she flipped out when I asked about some kind of anxiety medication so I backtracked and said I was kidding. So now I’m looking for something I can get myself to help. Next year when I go to college I am probably going to try and join some group or talk to a counselor about it. I’d talk with my guidance counselor but I don’t trust her and I don’t particularly like her. Will the St. John’s Wort help me or should I try something else?
Also, my symptoms include me having knots in my stomach, my throat gets dry right before I have to publically speak, and my voice cracks as I present. My anxiety pretty much plagues me all the time. Even when in a restaurant I can’t even place my order without getting really nervous. I used to be in band and I dropped it because the anxiety was so bad. I think I was on the verge of having anxiety/panic attacks when I was in band because my heart would literally be pumping at insane speeds. It still pumps pretty fast when I have to present something but I usually am able to calm my heart down before I have to present. I just really want help; it’s like I’m getting desperate! And I can’t ask my doctor’s for anything because my mom would freak out. I’m only 17 right now so I can’t avoid her.

Charnell asked: I’ve always wondered if maybe I have a thyroid issue since I’ve been suffering from brain fog and anxiety/panic attacks for 11 years now. But studying Thyroid dysfunctions, I don’t see all the symptoms matching me, until I found one symptom.
TOLOSA-HUNT.
The symptoms include:
* Headache behind the eyes. CHECK!
* Pains around the jaw. CHECK! (one of my biggest ailments)
* Joint aches. CHECK! (been tasted many times)
* Fever. CHECK! (get it twice a week)
* Paralysis of face muscles. MAYBE. (I feel one eyelid droopier, but no actual paralysis)
* Chronic fatigue. CHECK!
* Double vision. NO.
Is it possible I have Tolosa-Hunt? I am Swedish, and I only know the English name, and thus I don’t know how to ask for it to my doctors. I hope anyone with knowledge of the issue has some ideas.
