No. It's everyone else who suffers from my anxiety disorders.
During an anxiety attack it may seem to you that you hardly breathe or will die if you can not breathe .you may not have a physical problem ,you just feel as if you will die . a remarkable Increase in palpilations ,a feel of getting drowned are symptoms .if it were a heart attack I would die more than once in every attackI don't think so, but a couple of months ago I got blindsided by an entire group of people pissed off about an aspect that they apparently were already fully aware of, it was very overwhelming, I ended up with chest pains and went to hospital, doctors say it was some kind of muscle issue (I forgot now) but the stress caused me to put my chest in a way it caught a muscle in my chest on my rib and every time I took a breath it hurt pretty bad.
Do I have an anxiety disorder... Not sure.
Does anxiety appear to cause malfunctions... It would appear so.

No - but being married to someone who does is enough to make me want to put my fist through the wall. Seriously.

Next topic...rage.
Anxiety, depression and ADHD. On top of PDD-NOS.
Yes. I have mild PTSD as a result of incidents near the end of my working career that threatened my life and my livelihood. As with most men, I ignored it too long until one day some people said it looked like I was having a heart attack. An ambulance was called. I spent 9 hours in hospital while they ran a test to see if there had been a heart attack. It was not, it was a breakdown. The brain simply wasn't working properly.
A severe panic attack can look like heart disease, a stroke and a whole lot of things. Further, untreated your physical body pays a price. As it was explained to me, the body is being bathed in fear hormones tapping that ancient part of that had to be constantly afraid of being eaten by a bigger creature.
For men, it is almost impossible. We have been taught all our lives to be "brave men" and protect those who were weaker. It takes an enormous amount of courage to admit to yourself you are afraid of something as simple as going to the bank.
I am told we should all expect it. There has been more technological change in the last two decades than all other human creation, the world is getting faster, faster and faster; we are a society of 'beeps', phones beep, trucks beep, bank machines beep" all of it hitting our subsconcious mind over and over and over with a sense of urgency Commercials and videos come at us at high speed, and there is little in the urban landscape that isn't demanding you buy this, or take that, or use this and have beautiful women following you everywhere.
A while ago I had an "aha" moment. My grandfather used to sit on his front veranda and talk to people going by. He would often sit with them. Or we go for walks where other people were sitting out and join them. That's not even possible today.
If we are together in one place, everyone is either texting, listening to music or talking on a cell phone. No one rests anymore. We seldom interface .
So as the speed of society increases, more and more of us will be overcome with it.
I have a rare form of epilepsy. I have nocturnal seizures. They are light bouts of rapid firing seizures, which interrupts my REM sleep. So for a long time I wasn't getting sound sleep. One can't unless they go into REM sleep.
For a lot of my life I would wake up in the middle of the night having panic attacks. Then I'd be afraid to go back to sleep for several days. That brought on bouts of anxiety...you know where you can't really define what the hell is causing it - or - some sense of impending doom and you don't know how to defend yourself against something like that if you don't know what you fear is about to crush you.
It took having a stroke to find out what the hell was wrong. Now, I know I've been accused of being crazy (especially in DP), but I really felt crazy for much of life.
So I dig what you're saying.
