When one realises that there are a vast array of ways in which anxiety attack symptoms may present themselves you will realise that to narrow them down is not as easy as one may first think.
There are however a number of these symptoms which are present in the vast majority of different types of anxiety attacks.
Below I will supply you with a list of these more common attack symptoms so that you are able to become aware of the warning lights and take the necessary steps to prevent it becoming a full blown problem as soon as possible.
Common anxiety symptoms before a full blown attack even takes place:

• Feelings of apprehension or fear
• Becoming fidgety or jumpy
• Irritability
• Constantly looking for possible danger, even when none is apparently present
• Troubled concentration or inability to focus
• Your heart is pounding and you are short of breath
• Excessive sweating and stomach upset
• Muscle tension and nervous twitches
• Headaches, fatigue and inability to sleep

These are of the most common attack symptoms which normally are present even before one has begun to enter into a full blown anxiety attack.
Further symptoms which may be present in a full blown attack are:

• The feeling of being out of control and absolute panic
• Heart palpitations and tremendous chest pain as with a heart attack
• Nausea and very upset stomach, which may lead to loss of control of the bowel.
  
• Extreme trouble breathing and loss of breath
• Shaking and trembling are very common
• Temporary blackouts in severe situations
• The fear that you are going to die

Now that you have a rather accurate description of some of the more common anxiety attack symptoms, please be aware of them and if you should recognise a few of them in your own life then it is time for you to seek treatment and get it under control before it gains enough momentum to be very devastating in every aspect of your life.
One good thing is that anxiety attacks are easily treatable and there is no reason why one should have to live with this torment in your life.
Through the correct use of relaxation techniques, herbal products and any other of the many treatments available, there is no reason for anyone to suffer anxiety attacks for no reason.
