Hi,

I was just wondering why when I have panic attacks my blood pressure never changes. I hyperventilate, I shake, my chest feel so tight yet the paramedic always says that my blood pressure is fine. Is this normal?

Thanks for any help

dapone 1 agony auntif the medics say it alright then believe them,i find the best result for a panic attack is to carry a paper bag with you, put the bag across your mouth only, breath in through your nose, then blow the air out into the bag and continue breathing in and out,into the bag, continue this action until your breathing slows down again,if you continue to have these attacks, then you should see you GP, he will advise you on other courses of action to take, this type of action is also used by some asthmatics, it helps to slow your breathing down and may help your panic attacks.
