Can severe panic attacks to the point of passing out kill brain cells?!


Question:

Can severe panic attacks to the point of passing out kill brain cells?

I have had them for years and I have noticed all kinds of physical changes as a result. My brain also seems slower and I am wondering if the panic is causing damage.


Answers:

Nope it cant cause damage. panic attacks are just symptoms from your chemicals being off. nothing serious to your organs. actually during a panic attack ur getting to much oxygen bc of the shallow breathing that what causes the feeling of passing out. and another thing if u pass out your body re-sets itself and u start to breath again. in order for ou body to get cell damdage you heart has to stop beating and that doesnt happen when u pass out it happens when u have a cardiac arrest. that when the heart stops and the blood stop pumping to your organs including your brain and that when u suffer from brain dmage, cell damage, and organ damage. thats when cpr is successful bc it keeps the blood pumping to organ. this cannot happen during a panic attack. just if you are sick and there is something wrong with u. passing out u will continue to breath.
