May be a stupid question - Panic Disorders Message Board

But I'm wondering if most people who experience panic attacks also live with a very high level of anxiety most of the time? Lately, I do. And I'm wondering if others also experience this?

A very GOOD question!

Overall - I don't think I have a high level of anxiety on a daily basis. But, I do think it's extremely easy for me to Become anxious over things most other people would be able to remain calm and steady about.

fear of the next panic attack keeps most of us tense and anxious, but a few are able to relax and are calm and happy enough between panic attacks

My own general anxiety could sometimes escalate to a panic attack. As I learned to control the general anxiety, the panic attacks were also milder and less frequent.
