Has anyone else experienced low heart rate panic attacks?

I've been experiencing panic attacks recently, but they're different from what I've read online. During my panic attacks, my heart rate actually slows down instead of speeding up. Has anyone else had this kind of 'low heart rate panic attack'? I'm curious if this is a common thing or if it's something more serious. Any insights or personal experiences would be appreciated! #PanicAttack #Anxiety #MentalHealth

Hey MindfulMel, I've had similar experiences! I've read that some people may have a decrease in heart rate during a panic attack, which can be just as scary as an increased heart rate. It's important to remember that everyone's panic attacks are different and can manifest in various ways. #CopingStrategies #StressManagement

Hi Mel, it's great that you're reaching out and sharing your experience. Slower heart rates during panic attacks can be due to the body's natural 'freeze' response, which is another way our bodies react to stress. Just know that you're not alone, and there are many ways to manage these symptoms. #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety
