Some symptoms of mild anxiety attack s are:
Heart palpitations and elevated heart rate,
chills or flushes and perspiration,
trembling and / or shivering,
lack of breath, tightness of the chest and struggling with breathing,

nausea and/or tummy aches /spasms,
dizziness and deep concern about loss of self control
 
I had a family member suffer these symptoms of mild anxiety attack s for years until she found help on the internet see symptoms of mild anxiety attack .
She tried many medications for panic attacks, including xanax and even lexapro, but they weren't a cure and only gave a minor relief - plus she would rather try to cure herself through understanding instead of medicating.
 
Their all natural method certainly was more what she was looking for - allowing her to gain control - and certainly helped her overcoming panic attacks.
Anyway, hope the information helps,
all the best.

There are both physical and mental symptoms of social anxiety.


Psychologically the kinds of symptoms that are common are:


1.    You feel an extreme fear of being watched or judged by others, especially by strangers.
2.    You have a very intense fear of being in situations where you don't know people.
3.    You experience an intense worry about future social situations that are “impossible” to avoid
4.    You’re afraid of making mistakes and embarrassing or humiliating yourself.
5.    You worry about other people noticing your nervousness and physical social anxiety disorder symptoms.
6.    You avoid as much social situation as possible, especially ones where you might be the center of attention.

Social anxiety attack happens when you have a very, very intense feeling of apprehension and you want to get away from the situation as fast as possible.

The lowest servant in Heaven is still in Heaven.

Whoever rules in hell is still in hell, but they won't rule for long.

I suffered anxiety attacks after I left the Marines in 1975.  One tour in 'Nam and two tours with Operation Plowshare had put me to the limits of adrenal extremes more than once.  Here is my experience, and I hope it helps. 

Anxiety/panic attacks are a life threatening disorder.  Only personnel specially trained in dealing with this medical/psychological condition should attempt intervention.  Few ambulance crews have this training: it occurs only in combat veterans and police officers who have experienced repetitive life-threatening situations where violence is the only answer.

1.  Normal life.  Pulse 60, 120/80 bp, feeling at rest.  Life is good.
2.  Trigger.  Some unwanted and repetitive reminder of a situation where an instant fight-or-flight response made the difference between life and death.  10-15% adrenal reaction.  Pulse 75, 130/90 bp.  Can be as mild as a call from an old friend who insists on blathering about his days in combat (best forgotten) or a scene on TV showing full-auto fire in a staged presentation.  It takes a half-hour to restore calm.  No medical intervntion required or desirable.
3.  Trigger/reminder.  The combination of an environmental trigger and a verbal reminder of a stressful situation can start a 10-35% adrenal reaction.  Fight-or-flight reaction is a very present issue, and it is necessary to "break" with the situation or face a full-blown anxiety attack.  The absolute worst thing that can happen is some idiot tries to get you to calm down, or threatens a physical restraint.  A very critical time.  This is otherwise called "jungle nerves" and an hour or two at this level of stress can precipitate a "thousand-yard stare."  Again, let the stressed out person regain calm on his own: do not attempt intervention.
4.  Trigger/reminder/actual threat.  100% adrenal reaction, pulse 120-170, bp 160+/120+.  It becomes impossible to tell a perceived threat from a genuine threat as during a military counterattack.  Spiralling bp/pulse can result in myocardial infarction.  Physical strength becomes "superhuman," muscles become hard as pine boards, reflexes become uncontrollable.  Using such phrases as "calm down" are a certain provocation and shall result in fight-or-flight.  Medical intervention is now necessary, but let the attack run its course.
5.  Post-arousal exhaustion.  Pulse 170+, BP off the scale, cold skin, unable to move, death seems greatly preferable to another anxiety/panic attack.  It is a life-threatening disorder and only beta-blockers by inhalation will reduce the attack.

It is as much a physical disorder as a delayed reaction to an overwhelming environmental stress that puts the safety of the victim and others in question. 

The main hope of a PTSD victim is never to have to endure that sort of arousal again, at least until he can come to grips with it on his own terms.

Its never too late to ask.

Gene,

If that's your recent photo you look old enough to know all treatment for issues re: anxiety needs to be evaluated and or by a mental health professional or a primary care physician.

Should you have a problem with health ins. It may be a wait but the ER is there. Take a lunch and a good book.

He who diagnosed or attempts to treat oneself medically has a fool for a patient. Wish you well.

Thousands of people suffer from anxiety attacks, I included. It always starts when I get too stressed out or have too many things on my mind. My mouth begins to water and I feel the air bubble in my throat. the deepest breathes do not feel deep enough and the thought that maybe I am not taking in enough air makes it worse for me. My vision begins to blur and fights over whether it wants to see white dots or black dots. In many cases the dots in my head expand and take over to where I see only white. After the white screen, everything goes black and I pass out.

If you do not take the time to sit down and relax, your body will reset whether you like it or not. If it gets to the point where I pass out, in five minutes when I wake up, I feel great. My body has forced me to take a break.

Do not let it get to that point! If you feel as though you are becoming overwhelmed, STOP. Taking five minutes away from your stress will help you to be more efficient for the future. Take five minutes to sit down and slowly take deep breathes and clear your head. Do not sit there and continue to think about your problems... clear your head and focus on your breathing. In a few minutes your body has been able to reset and you will be able to focus and concentrate on what is bothering you.

As for a website with useful information..I have one. =)  http://www.healthremedies.com.      Health Remedies in a natural remedy website that I always find useful information at.  They also have many different natural treatments for anxiety .

Hello Gene;

I see you got pleanty of answers that included the symptoms you asked about.  I didn't see any answers that could really do you some help though.  You have options and one of those is a process you do yourself called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT for short.  It doesn't take much to learn and you can cut away your symptoms easily one at a time on your own.  Check out the web site  www.emofree.com  there are a lot of interesting stories and articles that can help you relate and see it in action.  Practicioners are available in all areas of the country and you can get that information too.  Check it out and if you need further help, let me know.

Dr. Ron
