panic attack
Is it normal to have a type of burning feeling throughout your body during an panic/anxiety attack?
I have been having attacks where my heart race increases, my body starts to tingle, I have a burning feeling that feels like it is traveling through my blood, my chest hurts, and I get shortness of breath. Would this be categorized as an anxiety or panic attack? If so, how can I stop them?
I’ve dealt with anxiety disorder for years. I’ve been in treatment for a long time as well. First talk to your doctor about your overall health. If you are a generally healthy adult you have nothing to worry about. The attacks feel very physical, but trust me they are more bark than bite. And yes, relax as much as possible. If you feel like you are losing control or are going to hurt yourself or others call 911. I’ve been to the hospital more times than I can count for these horrible attacks. Rest assured they do pass.
