Why are Anxiety Symptoms Scary?

Bodily symptoms go hand in hand with panic or anxiety disorders and they can be scary as hell.
But what makes these bodily sensations so scary and why do we react with fear to them?

All the symptoms you feel are of course real. It’s the way we process and react to these symptoms that can turn them into something of concern. You probably know by now that our high stress levels lets our body and mind get into fight or flight mode. This reaction is the reason for all the symptoms you experience. No matter if it’s a rapid heart beat, numbness, tingling or high blood pressure. They all are in place to prepare you either fight or flee from a dangerous situation. today we rarely if ever face a physical threat. Everything you now feel going on in your body is completely out of context and not in line with the stress you are experiencing in that moment. So this disconnection between the situation and your bodies reaction lets you conclude that there must be something wrong with you….. and you end up in a full blown panic attack.
Your subconscious will learn this reaction and react immediately with its emergency reaction when it feels anything slightly resembling that symptom.
And it gets even trickier. Some of you might get anxiety symptoms out of nowhere. Here you must keep in mind that high levels of stress for prolonged periods of time can cause tremendous muscle tension that doesn’t just disappear after a few days. This tension can create plenty of symptoms. Just because you feel worry free at the moment doesn’t mean that you subconscious has unlearned its reaction. So every little ache, twitch, tingle can set you right back into panic mode.

Oh man, I'm dealing with this right now. Chest tightness and paranoia about irregular heartbeat, random aches and absolutely tense muscles. The doc's have tested me twice and found nothing and I have another appointment next Friday.

[akshaylokhande]

Never smoke a cigarette, never had alcohol in my life. I'm overweight. Now afraid of heart attack. Can't go out to have tests due covid-19 lockdown.

There is no doubt that anxiety and depression are REAL cause I have lived it myself, but more than physical or emotional symptoms, it is a spiritual matter. Jesus Christ is the only solution. Is only through him that we can conquer FEAR which is the root of the problem. ..”perfect love, casteth out fear..” (1 John 4:18)..

Im letting go of my heart anxiety, but now my biggest worry is going insane from worry lmao

[XpapricaX]

One time i heard someone say, dont worry about the body the body can handle much much more because what you are experiencing is in the head has nothing to do with the body.

My biggest worry now is my heart. I’ve it checked numerous times but the chest tightness, random tingling and sensations in both arms scare me.

[jerimiewalker]

I have been checked out and I have chest pains and back pains and it always scares me and gives me panic attacks

One of the scariest symptoms I’ve been having is that i wake up out my sleep gasping for air. It feels like I’m stop breathing.

[JayPlayz]

My panic issues feels like my ears are about to explode with pressure and my nose is dry and my eyes. Also with hollow vision to go along with it.
Imma mess. I need help

I’ve had a health anxiety scare that’s Started with numbness, burning skin and weakness in my right arm and leg one night. I panicked and rushed to the hospital. They did MRI and CT scans. They found no neurological disorders! However I was left with a weak left leg that feels heavy when I walk! Also I feel anxious energy in the same leg. Like restlessness. I’m so scared that this might never go away. Is it normal for this to be present 24/7 and even wake me up?
It’s like I can’t walk because it feels tired and I can’t rest because I feel very nervous energy in my leg.

Its truly is hard to believe sometimes all this can be because of anxiety and or panic there are a lot of times out of nowhere i felt anxiousness coming on and my heart rate started going up super fast chest tightness followed by a dizzy almost grey vision and all that is from anxiety?? Ive been dealing with it on and off for two years now

One basic question (Appreciate anyone's answer)

When you say subconscious goes first and then act rationally with your conscious mind, my only doubt is even after acting consciously to not aggravate my fight or flight once it kicks in,
I still feel that my subconscious has not learnt anything from my conscious approach.

All I conclude most of time is, either my subconscious is not listening or my conscious mind's approach is not right.

So, any tips on "what this conscious mind approach is and should be?", which can effectively help my subconscious unlearn irrational fears?

Me even the surgery and the Gp are compromising with the authority to elevate my Anxiety here in London. It is like they kill people .

I have got symptoms which are replaced by a symptom of a different nature.. For eg. Right now I m having chest pain from 4 days... If it goes away it will be replaced by headache or dizziness and the list goes on. Checked with doc ecg, echo, CT scan all came back normal.... Still in doubt if it is really anxiety or I M in some deep

[kashmirtourpackage]

Nice information. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrames the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair or on the ground and do it. Inhale-exhale slowly and feel the relaxation flowing through your mind and body. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit to enjoy life.

What's the most epic way to recover and reduce this symptom?
