My panic attacks usually effect me in my stomach. I have irritable bowel syndrome and carry all of my stress and anxiety in my gut. So when I have a panic attack it effects me with a stomach ache, naseaues, sweating, light headedness and an immense sense of fear and dread. I don't get the increased heart rate or tight chest. So I think there are different symptoms for different people.

Thanks katrina, it was what I wanted to hear. I always thought the doctors were wrong in diagnosing me with anxiety as I do not get the racing heart anymore blamed in most of the theories for the other symptoms.

Over the years I had anxiety that can change and effect other parts of the body. Usually, I will get dizzy and begin to sweat which is really awful during a dinner party. Then other times it would effect my speaking center, and at times I would not be able to talk. These symptoms would go away for 6 months, then return suddenly. My medication have nearly eliminated these symptoms.

Hello Angstigh,

I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Panic Attacks 3 years ago. When I have a panic attack my heart does not beat fast at all. When I have an anxiety attack my heart does beat fast.

This condition is so irritating, it can actually ruin your life.

Yes this is possible. Mine hardly ever beats fast during panic attacks. In fact I hardly notice it at all when I panic. Mostly notice my breathing and tingling do to overbreathing.

Anyways I remember I was nervous at the doctors and she took my pulse and I was like "Wow my heart rate must be really fast right now" she looked at me and said "nope completely normal"

So yea its possible
