well im 15 and sometimes i get dizzy for about 5 seconds, not a full anxiety/panic attack, and sometimes i get tingling in my hand for about 1-3 seconds. all sharp pains in my chest for about 4 seconds without having a panic/anxiety attack is it possible anxiety can cause that?
Best reply by Shannonn:
Of course! Anxiety can cause a ton of things. I have anxiety and I get tons of different symptoms of it.
Like, for example, my head gets fuzzy for a few seconds and then I snap back into it. Don’t worry! Just keep calm and breathe deep! 
Read the original question here
Can anxiety disorder cause 1-5 second sensations without having a full panic/anxiety attack?
Yes…those are some of the most common symptoms of anxiety and sometimes those sensations alone will cause you to have a panic attack. I use to get those sensations and I use to be like “what the heck is this? It use to make me even more anxious and then I would get a full blown panic attack. Don’t worry…it’ll get better.
Yes that is normal. Even if you are not having a full on attack, any sort of stress could cause even the smallest symptom.
Are you anxious right before? Many panic attacks are caused by the fear of (wouldn’t you know it) panic attacks. The fact that you worried about it enough to post it up on here is a red flag to me. Panic attacks are different for different people. I get out of focus and my heart goes racing, I can’t get any control back. They last for different amounts of time so it’s hard to say. I wouldn’t say that I have actual pain though. It looks a little big like a total break down; crying, gasping out of control, and a lot of the time the attack-ee is thinking to themselves “Oh god, oh god, oh god, I am dying! I am dying!”. Hard to explain, really. I have an extreme anxiety disorder & often feel this way. My parents spotted it but I had several people come and tell me that they thought I had an anxiety disorder. I know how terribly horrible it is. Don’t listen to anyone here who says that you can easily fix it on your own, but also do not go running to the pills. The side effects to the drugs often make it much worse. I am trying chinese natural medication (may sound a little crazy, I know!), meditation, yoga and drinking tea. Although panic attacks may still creep up on you or something might spin you out of control… unfortunatly there’s no cure so we all have to learn to live with it. Start paying attention to the little things that you know set you off. Deep breathing into a paper bag or into your hands with your eyes closed helps. When I first suspected this I was telling myself that I was being paranoid. Just know that what you are going through is REAL & if there is always little things making your palms sweat and your head hurt… you most likely have -at least a light case- of GAD… There are many different types of anxiety disorders but often people will have two different types. i.e. I have both GAD & PD

Hi Katharine…actually panic attack is a sort of anxiety disorder…
Looks like you have some symptoms of panic attacks!
the symptoms of a panic attack appear suddenly, without any apparent cause. They may include
racing or pounding heartbeat (palpitations);
chest pains;—THIS IS YOUR SYMPTOM!
stomach upset;
dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea;—THIS IS YOUR SYMPTOM!
difficulty breathing, a sense of feeling smothered;
tingling or numbness in the hands;—THIS IS YOUR SYMPTOM!
hot flashes or chills;
trembling and shaking;
dreamlike sensations or perceptual distortions;
terror, a sense that something unimaginably horrible is about to occur and one is powerless to prevent it;
a need to escape;
nervousness about the possibility of losing control and doing something embarrassing;
fear of dying.
Actually panic disorder is not a disease…it is psychological problem!
And there is no certain treatment is for all sufferers because panic attack is so different from person to person!! Try some natural treatments before taking medications!
