I often get nervous and upset.
1. Fast heart beat
2. Chest pain
3. Body shake
4. Dizziness
5. Unable to move the body(like my hand gets thick) for 30 min.
I often get this. What cause it? Also , Is this dangerous?
That sounds pretty much like a panic attack . Generally they’re not dangerous so long as you try and keep calm (yeah, I know, its hard).
Its always worth having a check over with your doctor to make sure its nothing more serious though. I used to have panic attacks quite a lot, and one thing that i found really helped me was Bachs Rescue Remedy – you put a few drops on your tongue when you feel yourself starting to get stressed, and it calms you down . Its widely available , and pretty cheap too .
i still feel strange and afraid and a funny feeling in my chest
Yes they can. It is all brought on by stress and the stress factor remains even after the initial attack. Your body becomes extremely sensitive to the feelings that occurred with your initial attack. You need rest and relaxation. You need to learn relaxation techniques that will see your through the rough spots.
In fact if you don’t learn to control panic attacks, you will begin to experience the symptoms of panic attacks just by the anxiety you’ll feel wondering when and where the next attack will occurr.

Panic attack symptoms are caused by a number of biological changes that occur during times of stress and anxiety. The human body is very resilient, even in times of anxiety we are strong, although we may not feel it. It’s also very true that some people might be scared that their heart will stop, or give up, through the constant racing, thumping or chest pain, this is simply not true; again these are very common symptoms of panic attacks.
No one has ever come to any harm as a result of anxiety or panic attacks! Consider how hard athletes have to work in order to give their hearts the kind of workout your heart receives through anxiety; athletes hearts do not give up, do they? The heart is a muscle, raising the heart rate exercises it, making it fitter. You wouldn’t worry if your heart raced after running for the bus, so why worry about it when it happens during anxiety. panic attacks symptoms are harmless.
The downside of these panic attack symptoms is that your body will feel tired and shaky after they subside. You may feel as if you have run a marathon yourself. Feeling tired or achy is a necessary side effect, if you are aware that it may happen, when it does, you will know what it is and it won’t scare you as much!
Most anxious people complain of aching muscles and general fatigue, these are very common symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety. Muscle tension can cause pain or sensations of tightness anywhere in the body; most common in anxiety are pains in the chest, neck and shoulders. Tension in these places can be distressing; the tension in your chest may cause shortness of breath or rib pain, and it may make your chest or breasts tender or numb. Pains in the muscular tissues of the neck and back can cause the blood vessels and nerves to become restricted; this can cause headaches or migraine but can also cause the head to feel tender or painful.
It is possible for your face or scalp to feel numb or dead, this can affect sensations around your eye, in your cheek, face and jaw and can even affect the sensations in your mouth. This is caused by muscular tension causing restriction around the nerves and blood vessels in my neck. When I first experienced this, I was very scared as are many of my clients. AGAIN, another symptom of panic attacks and anxiety which causes the sufferer unnecessary worry but is completely harmless. Massaging the neck releases much of the tension and thus relieves the sensations; this works for most people.
This tension can cause feelings of numbness in the arms (usually the left), and also the legs. Don’t be alarmed if this happens to you.
You must understand that the nervous system is found in every inch of your body. There are nerve endings literally everywhere, around every organ, muscle and over every square millimeter of your skin so the symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety can be experienced anywhere! Tension can be responsible for many of the sensations experienced during anxiety.
Symptoms of panic attacks are EXACTLY what the name suggests, a symptom of the disorder not of another condition. These symptoms should be ignored, they have no importance or relevance to you, or your life.
Do not allow these unpleasant panic attack symptoms and sensations to get the better of you, after all that is all they are. The nerves tell the brain what it should be feeling under certain conditions and the brain responds. If tired and anxious nerve signals become confused, the brain may interpret the feeling of ice against the skin as burning, or the eyes might send a confused signal to the brain that makes you see a smooth surface ripple like water. Perceived sensations never have and never can, hurt any one. All symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety are caused by confused bodily sensations and nerve impulses, you may feel like the end is in sight, but it most certainly is not.
I would like to know an array of symptoms of a panic attack. ive recently been diagnosed with it.

Hey, im a 6th grader with panic-like attack symptoms. I have cramps a lot, and when my family isn’t near , i usually cant stand it. I have a lot of trouble with sleep overs. Now, my parents are going away for 4 days, and i can stay with someone if i can handle it, and i want to, but i dont know if can. What do i do, cause i really dont want to go?
You really should not choose to be alone while your parents are away considering your close bond attachment to your family. Are you in fear that something will happen to your family while you are not with them? Maybe you suffered some danger or injury in your past that triggers the onslaught of the panic attacks? You are a little to young to be alone for 4 days. It really is not safe for you to publicize the fact that you will be alone. There are those that will take advantage of the situation and prey on your youth and inexperience. Please take my advice and either stay with someone or have a responsible adult stay with you. You may find the following information valuable regarding your panic attacks/disorder. Good Luck!
If not recognized and treated, panic disorder and its complications can be devastating. Panic attacks can interfere with a child’s or adolescent’s relationships, schoolwork, and normal development. Children and adolescents with panic disorder may begin to feel anxious most of the time, even when they are not having panic attacks. Some begin to avoid situations where they fear a panic attack may occur or situations where help may not be available. For example, a child may be reluctant to go to school or be separated from his or her parents. In severe cases, the child or adolescent may be afraid to leave home. This pattern of avoiding certain places or situations is called agoraphobia. Some children and adolescents with panic disorder can develop severe depression and may be at risk of suicidal behavior. As an attempt to decrease anxiety, some adolescents with panic disorder use alcohol or drugs.
My panic attacks happen quickly and only last a short time like less than a minute, but I do not have the difficulty breathing nor do I feel my heart pounding heavily. It is annoying and it happens more than once a day, sometimes even more than three times. HELP!!!
Basically when it starts, I feel like I am burning, dizzy, upper abdomen hurts, and an intense fear feeling, but my heart just beats normally.

I have GAD and currently in the process of changing my meds. and have been having panic attacks everyday. im just wondering if these symptoms are normal for panic or if there something else. I get heaviness that radiates from my face, to my shoulders to my legs. it feels like these body parts get so heavy, and ive never expierenced that before. i dont want to call the doctor just yet, because im such a hypochondriac. so pleas anyone who has had these symptoms, or if you think its something worth going and getting checked out. thanks
You said…. im just wondering if these symptoms are normal for panic or if there something else. I get heaviness that radiates from my face, to my shoulders to my legs. it feels like these body parts get so heavy, and ive never expierenced that before.
Get a second opinion, I did because I wasn’t happy. It turned out to be the best thing that I’d done because the first lot of medication were giving me side affects. I’m much better now I’ve changed.
Good luck.
