Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Am I experiencing palpitations, dizziness, and difficulty breathing, and could these symptoms be related to anxiety disorders?
Answered by Dr. Junaid Rasool Bakhsh
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Anxiety disorders can manifest with physical symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
2. Palpitations may occur due to heightened physiological arousal and increased heart rate associated with anxiety.
3. Dizziness can result from hyperventilation, a common response to anxiety, leading to respiratory alkalosis.
4. Difficulty breathing may arise from hyperventilation or a sense of suffocation commonly experienced during panic attacks.
Thanks
