I discovered I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks when one day I felt a sudden shortness of breath and pain in my chest. I was sure I was going through a heart attack. I ran to the ER only to find that nothing is wrong in my heart and it is all in my head... I had a severe anxiety attack.

When do anxiety and panic attacks happen?
Anxiety attacks can appear suddenly, without warning what so ever. They can appear in certain situations, like inside a closed elevator, during driving on a bridge, or while talking in front of an audience. But they can also appear without any kind of trigger, completely out of the blue. Even when not experiencing anxiety attack, the person can become more and more nervous and worried and try to be prepared physically and mentally to the next attack. This contributes to more anxiety and feeds anxiety attacks - into full blown panic disorder.
