I would suppose so, due to the rise in adreline, it seems possible. Go to WebMd.com and look it up.

Yes, it is possible to even be "paralyzed" A condition that begins with hyperventilation (breathing too fast) and creating a hypoxic situation in the body that decreases blood flow thereby decreasing oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues of the legs and arms. People having anxiety attacks feel that there arms and legs go numb and they can't breathe. Best way to cure this type of anxiety is to practice deep cleansing breathing and try not to take life too seriously. Then try to discover why or what is causing the anxiety and work on overcoming this situation. It can be anything from a new job, meeting other people or thunderstorms.

Yes. It's caused by the irregular manner in which most people breathe during a panic attack or anxiety attack as you call it. If it scares you then try slowing down your breathing and or breathing into a paper bag for a few minutes.

Yes. Our bodies don't react normally during anxiety. Our body makes us physically and sometimes mentally fear something wether it's real or not. Think of it as a warning to prepare yourself for what's about to come. Anything can happen before during and after an anxiety attack

Yes. I have experienced that myself. What works for me is trying to take slow deep breaths and perhaps try to go for a walk or watch some distracting tv if possible. If these symptoms continue please see a doctor. Good luck!

yes, this is an effect of hypoxia (lowered oxygen levels). the lack of oxygen is caused by the rapid and inadiquate resperation patterns acompanying anxiety attacks.

Yes. But it is also a sign of hyperglycemia and many heart conditions. If this continues you need to see a doctor.

It's possible, did you hyperventilate during the attack, that could have caused it.

Oh yeah. I had tingling in my hands and feet as well. I also had tunnel vision and heart palpatations and sweating....

Absolutely. It has to do with adrenaline and your blood flow. I have them too.
