A member asked:
Do the arteries constrict when u get a panic attack or do they enlarge? if u feel ur pulse much clearer in ur neck when training, do they enlarge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vascular migraines: and panic attacks start out w/vessel constriction. The brain then tells the body to send more blood and oxygen to the area so the vessels then expand. This causes the throbbing feeling. Your doc and a mental health professional can help. Peace and good health.
