Panic attack , hands deformed Posted: 02-01-08 13:06pm


I had a panic attack (huge) years ago and my hands completely constricted with wrists turned all the way in and fingers stiff in curled position. Couldn't control. At the hospital the BP cuff inflating would cause my hands to constrict again. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Thanks so much Teri

This just means that you are not getting enough oxygen and circulation to your hands. When people hyperventilate it causes the hands to constrict and tingle. I've had this problem myself. It's a natural reaction and it's true that you can't do anything about it directly but..... You should try to breath normally and in a relaxed manner and that will cause the problem to stop.

I was told it was normal, but then again I have learned alot since then about dr.s and started mistrusting things that have been said in the past. Thanks so much for getting back to me on this, one less thing to wonder about
