Mental health and stuttering? Does anyone with a stutter also experience anxiety attacks or panic attacks? Other related symptoms are accelerated heart rate and sometimes chest pains. I often feel like my social anxiety is way less manageable than my own stutter. No matter how hard I try to get quality sleep and etc, my body still experiences panic attacks out of nowhere and I can’t do much to anticipate or control it. If so, can you share your experiences?
