Feel Like Heart Problems
Do anxiety symptoms feel like having heart problems?
Anxiety Question:
Do anxiety symptoms feel like having heart problems?
Anxiety Answer:
Anxiety symptoms can sometimes feel like heart problems.
If you are breathing too deep and/or too fast, you will exhale too much carbon dioxide and change the acid/base balance in your blood.
The nerves in your hands and feet do not work well when this happens and begin to tingle like pins are sticking them and then they go numb.
You panic more and breathe even deeper because "I cannot feel my hands!"
The solution to this problem is to breathe as slowly as possible into and out of the same bag so that you are breathing in the same air you pushed out and can get back from it some carbon dioxide until you feel better.
