Anxiety symptoms
A racing heart, shortness of breath, and tingling can be anxiety — not danger.
When it's usually nothing
- Symptoms peak within 10 minutes and slowly fade.
- They come with worry, a stressful thought, or after caffeine.
- Slow breathing and grounding (5 things you see) calm them.
When to get checked
- You're having thoughts of harming yourself — call a crisis line now.
- Symptoms don't fade after 30 minutes and feel physically severe.
- Panic attacks are affecting daily life — talk to a clinician.
