10 Symptoms of a Panic Attack
Symptom #8: Tingling or Numbness
A tingling feeling or numbness are additional symptoms of a panic attack. These feelings usually occur in certain parts of the body. However, for some people, the tingling or numb feeling may come over the whole body. Others may experience a burning feeling.
Tingling or numbness are believed to result from hyperventilation or excessive intake of air into the lungs. These symptoms of panic attacks may also arise due to the extreme anxiety feeling in the victim. As with other symptoms of panic attacks, the immediate action should be to try to calm down, sit or lie down and wait for the panic attack to pass.
