Can tingling legs, fainting feeling, low blood pressure and headache be signs of panic attack ?
Patient: I am female, age 69, weight 200 lbs., all afternoon have been experiencing what seems to be a panic attack; feeling that I'm going to faint, now legs are tingling, took blood pressure, but seems to be lower than normal; had headache and took aspirin; headache seems to be trying to return.  What's going on?? Doctor: Thank you for asking on HCM.If I am your consulting physician I would suggest the following:1. Check your blood sugar.2. Check your Blood Pressure.3. Get your ECG done.4. If your heart status is fine, encourage you to increase your fluid intake.First we need to focus on other causes of such episodes and the common are low blood sugar ( or high as well) , changes in blood pressure and hydration status of the body. Panic attack is unlikely but if the above tests are cleared we need further evaluation for panic attack confirmation.I hope you find this helpful.
