Your most annoying anxiety symptoms

[exiled]

I think I have experienced just about every symptom there is when it comes to anxiety/panic disorder.....hell my body might even have invented new symptoms.  I have had this $h!t for 7 years now and without question the worst symptoms for me are the one's associated with heart attack/disease....as follows:

1. Chest Pain/discomfort.  It always seems to manifest in different ways so you are never quite sure. This also includes palpitations.
2. Shooting/throbbing pain in left arm.  This happens all the time and I have always been told that's a major Heart Attack symptom.
3. Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing. Another common Heart Attack symptom.
4. Sweating/clamminess. 
5. Nausea/stomach discomfort.
6. Shoulder/Back pain or heaviness.
7. Spike in BP or heart rate.
8. Overall feeling of doom/sense that you are going to die.

It's all bad.... kinda makes you think you did something horrible in the proverbial 'past life'.

I'm embarrassed to say it, but when I'm having any painful procedure done or even if i think its going to be painful  the anxiety i feel causes me to cry like a little girl and then i shake and pass out.

[MrBBB]

Depressive thoughts, shakiness, chest tightness.

[CVR]

Nausea and stomach troubles, like you have to go for a number 2 right now and when you do, you think that it won't stop!

DEPERSONALIZATION AND DEREALIZASTION
If i could get rid of this symptom i feel like i could convince myself more that im not/going mad! Makes every day a living hell.
Fluoxetine has got rid of it before for me and even though its worse this time im still hoping....

[twinkletoes]

can i have 3 please? i think they fit together so i'll join them as one 
confusion, frustration, and irritable.. i go round in a vicious cirlcle with them with confusion leading to frustraion which leads to me being irritable which then makes me even more confused and frustrated  its a never ending cycle

[learning to cope]

twitching, shortness of breath, fear that I am going to stop breathing, intrusive, unrealistic thoughts, pretty much all of my imagined physical symptoms. i hate it all

[ecko23]

The constant thinking about my breathing is probly the most annoying
This constant feeling like my eyes arent focusing right, or like im almost dizzy but not really.

I used to have depersonalization, so i know how it feels. Its not that. Its something about my eyes

This  is definetly mine also. I hate it so much and its so hard to explain.

[teeps]

mine atm is the burning feelings in scalp and face it scares the poo outta me.

[sparklet2379]

Chest tightness, shortness of breath and dizziness (among MANY others).  Can't pick just one.

[Lanie]

Feeling like I'm going to die, like my heart or body will explode at any moment. I don't have panic attacks, just a constant feeling of anxiety and dread.

[BeckyV]

The most annoying? The constant tightness in my chest and feeling smothered and "tingly."
The worst is the trembling/ shaking. That's what you can't hide in public.

[Ashley39]

Nausea, feeling like I am going to pass out, being overheated, rapid heartbeat, and paralyzing fear that death is imminent.

Uggh me to - and last time I had a panic attack I actually Vomitted

[Grimfate]

Rapid Heartbeat is by far the worst symptom for me. It is the entire reason I have agoraphobia. I have had panic attacks as I was driving home and my heart rate would sky rocket. I felt like I was dying, having a heart attack, out of body sensations, tingling all over, body shakes... All I wanted to do was get home. And now that I have had time at home without working, I get them at home now too. Sometimes just sitting here for no reason at all I will just stand up in a panic, heart racing, and the rest goes downhill from there. It controls me every single day.

[Beachies]

Feeling like I was going to pass out driving was my worst symptom ever.  Now it's kind of moved on to stomach problems/feeling like I'm going to vomit.  It's an awful feeling.

[Thirsty075]

The constant thinking about my breathing is probly the most annoying
This constant feeling like my eyes arent focusing right, or like im almost dizzy but not really.

Mine is eyes too.  I absolutely hate the sudden rush (it doesn't gradually build).  It just hits out of nowhere when you're not prepared.  Sometimes when i'm driving it will feel like my eyes can't focus.

[Gideon.Waller]

My face gets really red and hot - I hate that!

[nm_momma]

Shortness of breath, tightness/pain in chest, lump in throat, dizziness, tingling.

Wait, did you say one? 

[cnelson8611]

De-realization, shakiness, and stomach problems. Oh I could list a lot more that are so annoying but then I would be listing them all 

[boundndetermined]

Depersonalization is definitely the worst for me.

[MsPanic]

So hard 2 pick 1 but I must say shaking. During a major panic attack, my hands & head shake like crazy.

[ascender]

lack of energy and the thoughts

[Ella]

shortness of breath and chest pains...also the overwhelming fear that i'm dying ...i think i hate the thoughts(the fact that im convinced im dying) more than the actual symptoms

This is exactly what I hate most too.

[chatterbox711]

For me, when the anxiety skyrockets and goes into a panic mode I start off by that freaked out overwhelming "what am I going to do" feeling. Then I start feeling that familiar shortness of breath and whoosy feeling which leads to the upset stomach. I used to have other symptoms in my much younger years but praise God I haven't experienced those for a very long time and I pray I never do again. They were so scary I don't even want to talk about them. I would give anything to stop the panic attacks and get myself healed from the Agoraphobia because I am tired of staying home in my self made dark and depressing prison. For the first time in years I actually want to start going places and doing things again. I miss shopping so bad. The last time I went to the store was when my husband took me to the Walmart store to buy me some clothes for my sister's Memorial service back in 2007.  I miss that and my husband misses me going with him. He has said several times how he doesn't feel married anymore. That just breaks my heart. I want these symptoms to just go away and I want to face my fears and ignore the symptoms of panic and anxiety. I figure if I ignore them they won't bother me as much.
