Counting one anxiety panic attack symptom after another and you are
supposed to go "out there"? Out there is an open, often an "unsafe
place" for agoraphobia sufferers. It can be any place. That's what the
word stands for - a fear of being bogged down and imprisoned by real
and dreadful feelings of suffering and fear of open spaces - anywhere,
anytime - other than what a sufferer considers being a "safe-zone"
place. Many anxiety panic attack symptoms are linked to this phobia.
Needless to say that living through and managing every single anxiety
panic attack symptom is by no means a walk in a park. The symptoms may
be there all at the same time, or they may come and go. Hot flashes
with chills make you tremble as you are profusely sweating under arms.
Your palms are sweaty; your chest feels like there's a live steel
python constricting your every breath. Of course, your heart is on an
adrenalin speed way and dizziness makes you feel like you need to puke
and then lay down immediately. The head feels so overstuffed and heavy
to keep it straight. If this is not enough, here comes a creepy
feeling of detachment from reality....
