I have never had panic attacks that are consistant. They have always varied.

Recently I went through about a week where I was waking up with anxiety/panic and when it came time to go to sleep it would come back. Also I lost my appetite for about a week as well.

So I went in, talked to my Dr. and he explained how anxiety can have many effects, such as loss of appetite.

The truth is, is that anxiety and panic attacks will most likely change throughout your life depending on how old you are, if you excersise or not, and how good your diet is.

I wouldn't worry about it, it's normal. :)

Anxiety attacks and panic attacks are two different things. A panic attack is when you feel you are dying. For me they last between 5 to 20 minutes. An anxiety attack is when you are very worked up but can still function. These can last for days.
