Well during a panic attack it becomes very hard to move or think or breath. And it's very scary. But they all can be done, It just takes more effort. That's why I say if you have one while driving either park or get onto a side street till it passes. From personal experience I would have to say, no you won't pass out or fall down and you won't become paralysed, except with fear and thats another thing. In fact the opposite seems to happen a person tries to run but doesn't know where to run to. There isn't any thing Physically wrong with the body, the signals that tell it what to do seem to get crossed. Like being falling down tired or drunk. Adrenalin seems to be the problem. But how to stop the adrenalin rush. Well the only way to do that is stop the panic. So here we are again at square one. The concequences of panic may be chemical leading to physical but the reasons for it are all mental and this can be dealt with. Find the reason for the panic. Look it in the face and tell it to go away. Think possitive and soon you will be able to say "oh h--l I'm having another panic attack, big deal." It's becomes like gas, A nuisence in the wrong place but it can't hurt you unless you fight it. And even then not much.
Myth: If I lose control during anxiety attacks, would it lead to paralysis?
Fact: Some people during a panic attack believe they are going to
"lose control." Presumably, they mean that they would either become
totally paralyzed or not be able to move, or that they would not know what they
are doing.
