What are the symptoms of anxiety attacks?
Anxiety attack symptoms include:
- Breathlessness
- ‘Racing’ heart
- Shaking
- Dizziness
- Stomach symptoms
- Blurred vision
- ‘Pins and needles’ sensations in limbs
- Difficulty swallowing
- Chest pains
and many others.
These physical anxiety attack symptoms are usually accompanied by strange or depressing thoughts and feelings of despair.
Although anxiety attack symptoms seem threatening, because no ‘real’ threat is present, these symptoms occur inappropriately and therefore do not represent ‘true fear’. Anxiety attacks are not the response to an actual threat but make the sufferer ‘feel threatened’; because the sufferer interprets anxiety attack symptoms as the response to a real threat, credibility is given to the symptoms and more fear is created, this produces more symptoms and an anxiety cycle is created.
What can you do to eliminate anxiety attacks?
Anxiety attacks can be eliminated very simply. Because anxiety attacks and high anxiety are the result of a learning process in the subconscious mind which causes the amygdala to react inappropriately, it can be ‘un-learned’ in the same way. This must be done in a structured way with ongoing support when required.
In order to effectively reverse the formation of anxiety attacks it is vital that the subconscious mind is taught to react to anxiety in a more appropriate way so that the ‘benchmark’ anxiety level is lowered; this will prevent sufferers from experiencing the symptoms, thoughts and sensations they tolerate every day such as anxiety attacks, panic attacks, OCD and phobias.
Through careful research and testing we have developed the solution which leads anxiety attacks sufferers down the path that every ex-anxiety attacks sufferer has followed to make a full recovery.
Our Method avoids all of the pitfalls and dead-ends that most anxiety attack sufferers travel along during their journey meaning that you can follow the most direct route to a full and permanent recovery.

Argh I hate these too. I totally thought I was having a heart attack and went to the hospital. They were awesome though ans boy do you get in fast when you say your having chest pains! I never did wear the heart monitor they wanted me too.. once I knew what it was, they didn’t go away (until I got the GOOD DRUGS) but they weren’t nearly as scary. This is a very informative post Morgan.. I’m surprised!
