Does anyone else just have anxiety symptoms just appear out of the blue like the dizziness, tingling in arms/face etc. even when you are not anxious about anything? I seem to just start feeling the symptoms for no real reason, I can just be sat down doing nothing and they appear, last a few hours then go away for a while. Am i the only one?

Yes mine can appear completely out of the blue. In fact my whole anxiety problem started overnight! One day I was fine, the next I was a complete mess.

Last week I was walking down the road with some friends when all of a sudden I felt lightheaded and dizzy, and I felt as though everything around me was unreal, even my friends! When things like this happen I try to tell myself that it's just anxiety, nothing to worry about, and eventually the symptoms ease off.

I definitely think that more education on stress and anxiety is needed. I had absolutely no idea about anxiety and what it can do to people before it happened to me. This meant that I was totally terrified of my symptoms, which of course made everything worse.

Maybe we should start up a special clinic?!

Rainbow ...
I feel like you. I can be fine one minute and the next my head starts feeling woozy/lightheaded and I get a headache. Or I will start jittering on the inside. Sometimes it lasts a few minutes sometimes a few hours then I can be fine again.
I know it can concern you because you can feel just fine and then wham-o you feel so out of it, but I believe it is normal with anxiety.
Maybe anxiety is one of the Devil's really messed up jokes ??

I have to agree there does need to be more research into anxiety/stress. I didn't know what it was other than the 'oh your feeling anxious' that everyone has. I didn't know that is could cause so much stress! I still don't sometimes, thats why I always freak when i get a new symptom because i think it is something else other than anxiety.

I keep alternating between colon cancer, heart disease and a major mental illness (like bi-polar, schizopherenia). When I'm anxious I tend to surf the web looking for symptoms!!

My anxiety also comes out of the blue - not related to anything in particular.

I have had the same problem. I could be sitting here typing away on the computer and I will just get a panic attack real quick. I have them when I am just sitting around not doing anything, not even feeling stressed at all. It's a normal symptom, I've done some research on it. My attacks are more provoked by stress, though....even when I'm very slightly stressed.
