10 Dyspraxia Symptoms
Symptom #3: Panic Attacks
Panic attacks refer to periods of intense fear that may result in shaking, palpitations, breathlessness, numbness, sweating, chest pain, and more. Individuals experiencing panic attacks often have an intense fear of losing control. Panic attacks can occur unexpectedly. However, psychological stress and smoking have been found to increase the risk of a panic attack.
Before diagnosis, disorders such as heart disease, hyperthyroidism, substance abuse, and hyperparathyroidism should be ruled out. Treatment options involve counselling, medications, and relaxation techniques. In individuals with dyspraxia, since they are more sensitive to their surroundings such as noise, light, and temperature, along with a higher tendency for anxiety, they are also likely to experience panic attacks.
