A member asked:
On flight home & immediately after take off & in the air heart started pounding body got severely tingly & couldnt breathe. altitude change? anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since most : airplane cabins have pressurized air- the changes you experienced from altitude changes alone, are not likely to be the problem. This makes one ask if you were experiencing anxiety or possibly a panic attack. Did you get back to normal since that time?
