Dental experts! what is the difference between an anxiety attack and a seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why dental experts?: It seems your question has not been answered since you asked for the wrong experts to respond. Anxiety attacks mimic physical traumas like heart attacks or seizures, without the corresponding physical causes. Seizures are caused by clear cut medical disorders.
