The worst for me is that I feel so lethargic, I have like literally no energy left after a attack and It feels like I have just ran a marathon.

Yes! This is a symptom of anxiety. I have had this before. It usually happens to me when I am afraid that I'm going to faint. But I've definitely experienced this before.Originally Posted by Music_lover
hi
ive always been a nervous person, although got far worse when things got too stressful at work. thought i was having a heart attack at one point and ended up in hospital, although it was a panic attack. this has happened twice now as both times it was that bad that i couldnt convince myself there was nothing wrong.
my symptoms include the following:
panic attacks
chest pain
pounding heart beat
checking heart all the time
breathlessness
feeling that i am going to pass out
pins and needles in hands and feet
shooting pains in arms
worrying about things to the point i think i am going insane
worrying that i am going to accidentally hurt someone
stutter - sometimes cant speak at all when on phone and have to hang up
also think i do some obsessive compulsive stuff like i used to watch the clock all the time and wait for the hands to line up before i could leave the room and also balance with hands on the kitchen worktop with feet off the ground until the microwave alarm goes off etc
i work as a surveyor, keep fit, have several hobbies and a great girl friend, but my life is being ruined by the above stuff. trying to sort it out with counselling and dont want to go on meds cause they messed my sister up. cant enjoy my weekends cause always worry about work and same goes for most evenings. was thinking about changing careers although got a mortgage to pay and dont want to be a let down to family.
hope what i am going through can be related to by other people in order to help them deal with their problems
hey
i've had the same symptoms for a long time. I use music as a tool to help benefit my condition, and I discovered this new company, Sourcetone LLC, researching and applying music as a means to relieve these symptoms. check them out.

The chest pain/discomfort is the worst.... I'm a P.I. and this has all but destroyed my professional life(right along with my personal life). I've had all the symptoms of a major heart attack....only to find out once again that it's anxiety related.
I've had this shit for seven years and I still can't get over it..... It's like a cruel prank your body keeps pulling on you. I'd give anything and everything to get rid of it once and for all.
