Is it possible to differentiate between a silent stroke and a panic attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic attacks: will not show up on brain imaging, strokes will. Please make sure to visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis. If panic attacks, please see a mental health professional. Clinical hypnosis can be helpful. See www.asch.net for licensed professionals. www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help. Peace and good health.
