Panic attack and EKG: EKG abnormalities can be induced by anxiety attacks. Especially if you hyperventilate during them. So if during your attacks you feel numb and tingling around your mouth and lips then get a paper bag and re-breath into it for a few minutes and the numbness/tingling and EKG changes may go away. These symptoms are related to hyperventilation changing blood chemistry. Do the bag to see if it helps.
