The anxiety/panic attacks that I have manifest themselves with heart racing or flutters, sometimes a hyperventalation type feeling, knots in my stomach and an irrational overwhelming thought that I just can't get out of bed, go to work, face the day, etc. It's a pull the covers over your head type thing. I don't usually have them once I can get up and get going and have not had any since the Lexapro started working. The only other time I have ever had a panic attack was scuba diving when I freaked out. That was scary, but I just talked myself out of it and tried to breath slowly.
