[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 282348, member: 6479"] Yes, it can - panic attacks are basically the human being's "fight or flight" response, triggered inappropriately. Increased hormone output (espec. adrenaline) causes increased heart rate and rapid breathing. Many times people will get chills, or grow too warm - in a way, panic attacks are somewhat similar to "hot flashes". The body is prepping to run, and the body temperature rises due to all the work the body's doing. You'll see some articles about "stress-induced hyperthermia" out there. I've read mice/rat studies that show significant rises in body temp in response to stress, but I can't remember an actual human study. Gonna go have to haul out my textbooks for that one, I think. Here's an abstract that says it plain out, in the beginning. :) [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12600705[/URL] [/QUOTE]
