A member asked:
Can you have anxiety attacks without racing heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A racing heart is not an essential panic symptom, especially if you have a condition or are taking meds that control heart rate. An overwhelming feeling of panic, rapid breathing, weakness in limbs, butterflies in stomach, difficulty focusing, a desire to run, or feeling like you wish to jump out of your skin are common. See a provider for a workup if you are worried. Anxiety can be treated.
