I was dx with an anxiety disorder and panic attack too. For me, anxiety is the nervousness of every day worrying that is manageable to some degree with medication. I take 150mg Effexor XR. Panic attack is when I am touched by the irrational fear that I die because of the sudden appearance of an intense feeling of not being able to breathe, sweat, tension, feeling like you’re outside oneself, etc. usually last about 10 minutes (if it feels), but disappears just as quickly. I take Xanax (alprazolam) for panic attacks. Fortunately, the effexor has reduced my panic attacks, I have not had my script filled at 8 MOS. Hope this helps.

Although panic attacks usually occur in all different types of anxiety disorders, there is a clear difference between anxiety and panic. The difference lies in the duration and intensity of symptoms. Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear that only lasts a short time. On the other hand, anxiety is more gradual, less intense and lasts longer.

in all honestly there really both the same, I have suffered for years now not a day goes by, you must first realize that you have a problem that is the thing that I had wrong in the first place has let them win over me like staying indoors to stop them, now that the results of agoraphobia with plssssss then seek help now do not let them win, much help is available out there now, you really think your right to die on the spot when having one, and really the worst that can happen is when its at its worst, is that you do not light, 2 laps IVE me when I a learned and maybe help you and others like you are here first, always carry a bottle of water or LMS take a sip of juice when you have one cos you can not swallow and panic Meanwhile, also put a rubber band around your wrist and ping it hard when you have a pain cos also distract you, you will have time to collect your thoughts and year trying to slow breathing per year, and of course the bag “waste paper” trick but make sure you put it around the nose and mouth slightly year and keep it there until breathing becomes slower year plsssss believe me, nobody knows you have a year know, see thats what makes mine worse, I thought “every body knew that I took so I avoided going out” bad “! If you are with someone you trust who tell him of a year do suffer in silence, tell them before you leave if you can tell them “IM look with a panic here,” What is that ‘they can do for you may be talking quietly to help you take deep breaths, count to five years left, so do the excersise etc, it really helps, because you good! cannot think at this point right when in a panic year, hope that this advice is useful, I wish you all good luck for the things he truly scary, but everything will be fine, but let yourself be seduced replaced, to defend one’s cases per day of “theft” fight flight flee feel like I did…….. you sure know real now you can do xx tc

I believe that anxiety and panic attacks are one and the same, although I am np medical expert. I think the level and the symptoms can vary from person to person. classic symptoms are rapid heartbeat, sweaty palms, difficulty breathing, extreme agitation, fear, and heaviness in the chest. Why not see a doctor, or if they are manageable, try to breathe deeply, exercise, and especially anything that calms you. I hope this helps!
