Ct Magazine

One of the most common signs to look out for is difficulty breathing. Signs of an anxiety attack can include anything from a feeling of breathlessness to tightness in the chest, or having difficulty taking deep breaths.

1. Difficulty Breathing

Anxiety attacks can cause your heart to beat uncontrollably fast and hard, a symptom medically termed as palpitations.

3. Tensing of Muscles

Anxiety attacks also induce tensing of the muscles. This can be anything from a slight tremor to an intense, involuntary contraction of muscles.

4. Sweating

Sweating is the body’s way of cooling itself in response to terror or fear, and while the physiological systems of the body may not be functioning normally such as breathing and muscles, an increase in body temperature due to anxiety can lead to sweating.

5: Nausea

Nausea is another classic sign of an anxiety attack. It can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including queasiness, vomiting, dizziness, stomach aches, or a loss of appetite.

Muscle cramps can also be a sign of anxiety attack. Anxiety can cause the body to tense up, and lead to persistent muscle pains and cramps.

8: Uncontrollable Shaking

Anxiety attacks can lead to trembling, shaking, and twitching of muscles, especially in the limbs.
