There are many unpleasant side-effects of severe panic and anxiety.
One of the worst of these is anxiety attack pain.
At least, that's what some people call it.
It's not really an accurate name, because the anxiety attack itself isn't what's causing the discomfort.
The discomfort is really being caused by the stress and anxiety you experience over extended periods of time.
It runs down your body, and the result is often aches and pains that you just can't shake.
Anxiety attack pain can feel very similar to the aches and pains associated with having the flu.
Just as with flu discomfort, the pain can be anywhere in your body, and can occur almost at random at any time during the day.
The pain will often be in the joints, and many people also have particularly bad problems with back and neck pain.
And back and neck pain has a nasty habit of rising up into the head where it can quickly turn into a headache or even a migraine.
Anxiety attack pain works like this.
What starts off as just a little niggling twinge in the leg spreads into your hip, up your back, into your head, and suddenly you're aching all over.
The important thing to remember is that this pain is only caused by your stress and anxiety.
It's not a sign of anything terrible.
If you find some good relaxation techniques and make use of them, anxiety attack pain is normally quick to leave.
Try tai chi, yoga, mindfulness meditation, and even breathing techniques.
They all work very well in relieving this kind of discomfort.
