i used to have panic attacks all day long.. worry about everything.. pain in my chest, headache, not able to relax at all.. a mix between GAD and panic attacks.. sometimes it would go as far as a full blown panic attack.. i usually get nervous in public but its more the fact that i'm afraid of being nervous in the situation.. i notice i sweat.. feel self conscience etc. i'm not sure what i have my question is do i have agoraphobia or social anxiety or something else? i know it is some type of disorder i also have a little bit of ocd but i guess we all do i dont know.. i take seredyn this natural medication and it mellows me out my stress is high lately but i have yet to have a panic attack without seredyn i would have already.. its not as powerful as a drug but good enough... so what do you guys think i have???
Agoraphobia vs. social anxiety?Hi--I certainly cannot diagnose you, put it sounds more like panic disorder, if you are afraid of getting panic attacks.A panic attack often begins abruptly, peaks within 10 minutes and lasts about half an hour. But panic attacks have many variations. They may last hours or, on rare occasions, up to a day. You may feel fatigued and worn out after a panic attack subsides.
Signs and symptoms may include:
Rapid heart rate
Sweating
Trembling
Shortness of breath and hyperventilation
Chills
Hot flashes
Nausea
Abdominal cramping
