True FEAR can only be present when there is something PRESENT to be scared of. If you have panic attack symptoms when there is nothing present to be scared of… you are experiencing INAPPROPRIATE ANXIETY… the sensations of FEAR, BUT, NOT true fear!
Even any weird or anxious thoughts you experience are ALL the product of the anxiety response which creates ‘what if’ thoughts… thoughts designed to make you make sensible decisions quickly when REAL fear is present; but when no REAL fear is present, the thoughts work on presenting you with ‘worst case scenarios’ and some can be pretty weird and disturbing; these might include aggressive thoughts or sexual thoughts… thoughts about things you KNOW you’d never actually carry out. Disturbing but harmless and a recognized and common panic attacks symptom.
Hi. I hope you are feeling better now.
Panic attack symptoms include:
* a rapid heart rate
* chest pain
* shortness of breath
* dizziness
* nausea
* faintness, headache
* hyperventilation
* trembling
* abdominal cramping
* chills
* hot flushes
* feeling of claustrophobia
* tightness in your throat
* having trouble swallowing.
In most cases, attacks come on suddenly, and last for 10-30 minutes. But attacks have many variations. They may last hours, or on rare occasions even days.
Anyway, I hope you are feeling better now. And do not forget to talk to someone about what you experienced. There is always someone out there who is willing to help.
Take care!
