• Insomnia or trouble sleeping
• Oversleeping
• Fatigue
• Dizziness and occasional migraines
• Restlessness
• Heart palpitations
• Shortness of breath

When the brain tells the body that there is a clear and present threat, the body prepares itself for quick actions and faster thought processes thus resulting to the increase in heart activity and respiration. It helps us stay focused and alert any situation that may appear.
These symptoms by themselves could be read as normal physical complaints but when they gradually appear at a close period on time and at greater frequencies, and then maybe, that is anxiety that you are facing in beyond the normal. Anxiety attacks may not happen to all patients diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Although the actual presence of danger is not true, the feeling of danger that the patient perceives is real, and hence could sometimes be mistaken as a heart attack.
So to everyone who has detected these anxiety symptoms on your friends and loved ones then maybe its time that you intervene and ask for anxiety help from a medical professional.
