Is it possible to go into cardiac arrest from panic attacks ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are diseases: that are induced or affected by catecholamine release in the body. Catecholaminergic ventricular tachycardia would be one that could result in cardiac arrest. Panic attacks can result in elevated catecholamine levels so the answer is yes.
