For a while now, I’ve had classic panic attack symptoms, but no panic attacks (well, i can bet i’ve had few and just didn’t know that they were panic attacks). A while, actually, meaning a few months (since I started practicing for my first solo voice recital).
I’ve had a shortness of breath, random pains (chest area especially–but not just heart area), nausea, and just plain exhaustion, palpitations/rapid heart beat and shaking. But not all of them all at once.

So my question is, can you have panic attack symptoms with just a high anxiety level? And how long do the symptoms last?

Oh, and I had a panic attack last night. ):

hi , i need help! for the past 3 months i have been experiencing panic attacks about weekly. i already have mild hypertension, but my current meds (low dose even) ususally keep it about 115/70. and i monitor it frequently. when i have an “attack” my blood pressure goes up to around (150-160) over (110-130). HR:100-130 my cardiologist has ruled out any secondary cause to my hypertension. once i had one that lasted for 2 days. when they come on, i take a xanax and a little extra dose of my bp meds. it’s so scary. i feel all of the classic symptoms i have researched. what i really need to know is , can a panic attack cause such a high rise in bp or even last so long? is that possible, or is it atypical? i’d feel better if i knew the answer.. thank you , emily 25year old female
thanks, bob, but i’m scared i,m going to have a stroke with a diastolic pressure of 120-130! does anyone else’s bp go up this high?

Patrick asked:


I’m personally a bit scared as of right now because I can’t figure out the difference between heart attack warning symptoms and panic attack symptoms. You see, I’ve been having a quick, sharp pain in my chest ever since I woke up. I woke up at 9:02 am central time. It goes away but comes back every hour or so. Now I’ve been trying to calm myself down and say it’s nothing but for a couple of days now I’ve been dizzy, my left arm has been having muscle spasms, my face has been feeling like it’s swollen, more or less meaning there’s a lot of discomfort, and now I’m having a pain in my left shoulder/ upper arm. Please, can someone possibly tell me what’s going on? I’m only 18, I shouldn’t be feeling like this, should I?

I have been having really bad panic attacks lately and my doctor prescribed lexapro which doesn’t seem to be working. These panic attacks have been awful and they have taken a toll on me. Why is this happening to me? This has been going on for about 4 weeks. What can I do to stop this?

I have been having really bad panic attacks lately and they seem to happen a lot when I am at work. I just wanted some advice on how to stop panic attacks immediately without any medication. I would appreciate any of your advice because these panic attacks have been taking a toll on me and they are awful. I have prayed a lot since they started and I just want things to be better.

For example, is it possible to have a panic attack with just the mental aspect (deep sense of dread, fear of death, derealization, etc,) without physical symptoms such as shaking, and increased heartbeat?
