Yes: Red hands and feet are your body's response to the stress of a panic attack; however, panic attacks are not normal and should be treated. There effective treatments for panic attacks, start with your doctor to determine if medications would be appropriate and seek a psychotherapist to work on regular coping strategies for keeping stress at bay and specific relaxation techniques to prevent attacks.

Yes: Its stress reaction probably during panic attack it looks as if you have lack of blood flow to the area as the arteries constrict in the initial reaction to stress after the stress passes the arteries dilate , both these reactions are controlled by our nervous sytem and do not represent a circulation issue.
