Anxiety attacks are physical symptoms such as pounding heart, fast breathing, tingling in limbs, inability to be still, etc. There are many symptoms.

It would be a good idea to see your doctor for a physical to rule out medical reasons for the symptoms.

When you work with a psychodynamic psychotherapist to find and explore the cause of the feelings that start the anxiety response (fear response of fight or flee), then the symptoms will lessen.
