Question:
how far do the symptoms of an anxiety attack vary?
My wife has panic/anxiety attacks, (we think), but they do
not seem to be the same as 'normal' attacks.
So, if someone could indicate some usefull links, I'd much
appreciate it.
Btw, she also has severe depression, which I gather is pretty common
with panic attacks.
Answer:
It might be easier if you told us what her symptoms are when she is having an
attack? Panic attacks are very individualized, no two people have panic attacks
the same way. There are so many symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks that I am
never surprised when I hear a new symptom. Try these links: http://www.algy.com/pdi/ and http://www.mentalhealth.com/ This sounds like more than anxiety and panic, but I am not a doctor and I could
be wrong. I strongly urge you to get your wife to a Neurologist as soon as
possible. She needs to be examined and tested thoroughly to rule out any and
all physical disorders that could be causing her symptoms
