Thank you for posting this! I have a lot of these symptoms and everytime I always think I must be dying. I always have to force myself to believe that its just anxiety and it will go away once I calm down.

That's a pretty comprehensive list.  I didn't see anything about breathing issues on it though - maybe I overlooked it.  Definitely an anxiety symptom - hyperventilation as well.

Blanching - in all my 30+ years of anxiety, I've never seen this one.  Makes sense, as I've had this happen and someone commented on it to me as well, saying I looked like I was going to pass out.  Interesting.

I definietly have issues breathing and turn pale as well. Than when people tell me I look pale it freaks me out even more. My skin turns really white though when I have anxiety attacks.

LOL! Yes!  If someone didn't mention it, many times I wouldn't know it was even happening, but all it takes is for someone to point it out, then WHAM!  I start to panic.  Ugh!

I believe you got this list from here?: http://www.0110.com/anxiety-symptoms.shtml

The reason I say is just because there are a lot of the mental ones in there too and for me at least that is more terrifying than the physical. That list has seen me through some tough times.
