Why Did My Fingers Feel Like I Had Pins and Needles During a Really Bad Panic Attack?

During a panic attack, the body goes into "fight or flight" mode, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones can cause a variety of physical symptoms, including pins and needles in the fingers.

This sensation is caused by the constriction of blood vessels in the hands and fingers. This constriction reduces blood flow to the nerves, which can lead to numbness, tingling, or a pins and needles feeling.

In addition, hyperventilation during a panic attack can also contribute to this sensation. Hyperventilation causes a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, which can lead to changes in blood pH and decreased blood flow to the nerves.

If you experience pins and needles in your fingers during a panic attack, it is important to stay calm and try to relax. Focus on deep breathing and try to slow your heart rate. You may also want to try massaging your hands and fingers to improve circulation.
