A member asked:
Paresthesia whole body. hyperventilated. hands/feet felt like paralyzed and ice cold and unable to move or talk normal for 2 hrs. a panic attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Hyperventilating during a panic attack can cause those symptoms by blowing off too much carbon dioxide. Breathing into a paper bag can reverse this carbon dioxide loss. I strongly recommend stress management therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy going forward. Medication may be temporarily prescribed as well. Ask your physician for a referral.
