Definitely, yes: symptoms are not a sign of illness, they are the mind's ability to produce the "flight or fight" response which gives rise to many physiological changes include heart palpitations, nausea, weakness in legs, tingling, dry mouth, speech impairment, tremor and sweating. Depending on the cause of your anxiety symptoms, your health care provider can provide you with treatment options.

Yes. There are 33: symptoms of anxiety, and this is only one. Rapid heart rate and breathing, sweaty palms, even tinnitus, can be the result of a panic attack. Here's a starting reference: http://www.psychologyproductsandservices.com/page2.html Go to a therapist for a differential diagnosis, because anxiety can be caused by LOTS of other conditions.
