Tetany from panic attack???
Just had a major panic attack that involved a lot of overbreathing, my hands and nose and even my teeth started tingling and i tried breathing right but i guess it was too late, I started feeling very intense pressure in the center of my chest just above my stomach and my hands started to become drawn and i couldnt really move. It lasted for about 20 seconds and then I was sore afterward... I'm so scared of having another one I cant even leave my room. This has hapened before but I called anambulance straight away because I thought it was a heart attack. They told me it was Tetany induced by my panic, does this sound right?? Is this dangerous? It doesent feel good at all. I'm so frightened. Anyone ever have this??? I feel alone...
Strange symptoms. I certainly would be angry at your doctor! You all should be on daily doses of Valium or Xanax or Clonopin to NEVER ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN! These drugs are Antianxiety meds that prevent or treat panic attacks BEFORE THEY BECOME SO SEVERE THAT YOU SUFFER THESE DISABLING SYMPTOMS!!!! COMPLAIN PLEASE.....YOUR DOCTOR WAS NOT OFFERING YOU A MEDICATION THAT WOULD TRULY STOP THIS NONSENSE.
So glad I found this forum. I thought I was the only one experiencing this and never met anyone with the same symtoms, until last week. I actually suffer from this. It ***** because I am in the military and this always seems to happen to me during commander calls, where We have to stand in attentiom when presenting awards. It always seems to happen during when standing in attention for me especially for long period of time. Of course I dont break my bearing and refuse to fall out of formation, so the whole time im actually standing in attention going through these symptoms with intense tingling senations all over my face hands and chest and of course my hands start to seize up as well. Im actually scared out of my mind and even if it was less than 5 minutes in my head it feels like its been hours...once finally dismissed from the commander then i storm out to go into the bathroom trying to control myself.
Its funny but then it is not cause when your going through it no one notices what your going through, but yourself while your dying inside no one notices and it *****.
I tired ways to control it but when i focus on my breathing it just freaks me out more and then i lose concentraion and more focused on the symptoms than anything else. Before i was somtimes able to control it but now I am having diffucties doing it. I have noticed the best option for me is to walk it out cause it seems to losen up the tesing of the muscles. When i do come dowm from it ai feel like I have been drained of energy cause it takes sooo much energy from you.
I also have been on all kinds of med and nothing seems to be helping. I Started prozac last week so ill see how th se work. Im actualy going to try n go a hypnotherapist cause a friend recomended it.

Im 24 and just experienced the same feeling while in a car on my way to a gig with my band. I randomly got tingly fingers and felt short of breath and got a severe feeling in my stomach and stopped the car and jumped out feeling like I was about to die somehow or lose control of my body and then my hand got all claw like and I felt pressure all around my upper body I just sat on the floor freaking out and breathing and trying to calm down and after 10 minutes or maybe just 5 minutes i was able to move my fingers again but my hands still felt numb ringing ish. Then after 2 hour drive I got to my gig and sang and put on my show hoping that I was gonna be able to stay calm and be ok. Which I did :) I am convinced it is anxiety related and I have been trying to train my mind that all this is just anxiety and I have to train myself to not be afraid and breath and close your eyes if you ever feel too much stimulation going on which helps. I also drink chamomile tea and eat a banana to help with anxiety.
I posted in this thread back in 2010, but I had a repeat occurrence in 2015. Just like 2010, I was feeling very unwell. I had a sore throat, I was extremely light headed, and being sick. I usually ride these things out, but I'd never felt this unwell before, and being home alone, unable to drive, I got a neighbour to take me to the doctors. By the time we arrived I couldn't even exit the car, so the neighbour went into the surgery to bring the doctor out to me, but after she left I felt myself losing consciousness, so tried to get out of the car. The moment I stepped out I collapsed onto the tarmac floor, and started hyperventilating. A man ran over and initially tried to pick me up, I wanted to tell him to just leave me be so I could try to regain my breathing, but it wasn't possible to speak. Fortunately he decided against moving me and then the doctor arrived with everybody who had been in the waiting room, watching this man gasping these croaky like breaths, fighting to stay conscious.
In very short sentences between breathing, I was able to tell the doctor I was having an episode of tetany and it had happened previously five years ago. I wasn't nearly as panicked as before because thankfully I knew what was happening. I kept calm, and just concentrated on deep, steady breathing. The doctor placed a paper bag over my mouth and helped try to control the breaths. The firemen arrived (it's not uncommon in France - they are often first to a scene), but couldn't do anything for me, so an ambulance arrived later. I don't believe I passed out, but apparently I was breathing like this on the floor of the carpark for about 90 minutes (I can only account for about 20 minutes), with my hands bent and claw like and pins and needles in my arms and legs. It was completely impossible for me to steady my breathing despite I was calm on the inside. My blood pressure had gotten so low the firemen and doctor thought I only had a 50/50 chance of survival (so I learnt later!).
When I was loaded onto the ambulance after 90 minutes, I was still struggling with the breathing, and being periodically sick, which was an awful experience, as the process of being sick makes it hard enough to breath anyway. I did think that might finish me off, but half way to the hospital my breathing did start to normalise.
There was one particular nurse on the ambulance, who was anything but sympathetic, and in an angry voice said 'Why are you breathing like that?!' and then responded 'stop breathing like that!', as if I could really control it, and enjoy hyperventilating in front of a small crowd of onlookers!
Fortunately the rest of the staff were excellent. Within the day I had a head scan, lung scan, heart monitor and blood tests. I was hoping they would find some physical ailment, but I was the embodiment of perfect health, though prone to low blood pressure.
My concern at the end of it all, is that it could easily happen again, and despite my ability to remain calm and rational on the inside, I am still somewhat a passenger and slave to the hyperventilation. I understand that hyperventilating brings carbon dioxide into the body, so ultimately you are starving the vital organs of oxygen, but as people who have posted in this forum know, once it starts it is extremely hard to bring under control. I wish the nurse who criticised me could have undergone the experience!

That is really frightening. I can't believe you could be let to lay on the carpark floor for 90 minutes at a hospital. Or that an ambulance would have to come to you when you were just outside the hospital doors. At least they got your tests done within the day.
I wonder why you were diagnosed with tetany initially? Maybe you are just experiencing normal anxiety and are having panic attacks as a response. I have had similar experiences. Horrible and life changing. In the most recent I was stuck in traffic in a part of town I hate, where the landscape is barren and there are no freeway exits and it's far from home. I had already begun panicking earlier anyway, but it just got worse. I began to hyperventilate and the tingling and claw hands started. I began to pass out, or so I believed. Truly thought I was done for. Began driving erratically, skipping across lanes and cutting people off. Finally exited and threw my car into a strip mall where I jumped out and began screaming "help!" but ran into a bar where two nice women calmed me down and one of them hugged me and allowed me to come back to normal, which I soon did.
I have also been taken away by ambulance twice due to these and been seen by paramedics a third time. They all say it's panic attacks and they see it a lot. One of the times I was on the floor of our employee cafeteria for almost a half hour until paramedics were called and arrived. I couldn't gt up due to almost passing out and was tingling all over. Again, like you, all vital signs normal.
I would explore your tendency to low BP. Although many people do have that condition. It might trigger panic attacks.

hello jams19, does that thing happened to you all the time you travel? everytime you have motion sickness? because it happened to me recently while i am travelling , and i feel scared. that tingling sensation started on my hands to my feet including my face and my back. it lasted for 1 hour and 30minutes. trying to research everything online. i love how you manage yours though.
Haha I got this one time when I got airsick flying in a little cessana plane, and now its happened to me twice since I've been practicing Hot Yoga, my hands and toes go into claw mode..It's when I get extremely exhausted in class. This is not a result of my anxiety but simply because I am over stressing my body physically. Some other students try and explain it as dehydration, or low blood pressur, but I think it's just one way the body can react to stress!!
I feel for those people that have so much mental anxiety that this happens to you! Nothing in life is worth stressing that much over!
You should try yoga, it's very calming on the mind. When this happens to me now it makes me laugh, I know I am trying too hard, so I lay down and it goes away in 10 minutes.

I never hear term Tetany before but know when I've had attack that my finger would bend back wards and I've seen this happen to my sister before too. I can not even move finger like that even if I was pushing on them. I know I have been able to control my breathing just have cold hot flash instead and shaking shivering has body else had that happen?
I am so relieved that I found this article that I am actually in tears! I had this happen to me about 2 years ago, and then a few months ago, and it was absolutely terrifying, the first time, I was in the middle of nowhere when it happened and I thought I was going to die... It lasted about twenty minutes intensely (though my sense of time was like... Whoa) but I hurt, tingled and felt exhausted through the next day.. I thought I was having a stroke and I just wanted to get home to my baby....my health has been deteriorating for about that long, so the more I thought of it the more I assumed it had to be a stroke... The slurring of speech, etc... But reading this, I feel an enormous weight leaving my shoulders... Thank goodness!
I'm so glad I came across this article!
In the past I have suffered with panic attacks, but thankfully they have subsided for the last 9-12months.
Probably more to do with the fact that I've learned how to control them.
Yet this afternoon I was watching TV, whilst doing some work on the lap top and I started to feel that my breathing was slightly different. Decided to shut down the lap top and move to the edge of the sofa.
I called my husband over and said to him (out of earshot of my 5 yes told) that I was struggling to catch my breath.
He went and got my pumps to see if it would relieve it, meanwhile I think I got myself so wound up and the breathing was becoming more erratic.
Then I started to feel pins and needles in my lower arms, gradually moving up my arms, all this time my breathing becoming worse as I was over thinking it that I was having a stroke. To the point that I had the pins and needles sensation in my lower face and it was making the back if my neck feel 'heavy' and I felt like I was going to faint.
I've never experienced this before and at the time was very scary. My husband calmly called 999 & they sent out a first response unit.
When they arrived I was at this point, slumped to one side on my sofa, with no control over my arms/hands, which had taken this 'crab' position. (I only know it's called that as the paramedic later explained it to me. She said it was all a part of hypoventilating
My mouth and lower face had lost all sensation at the point too.
After several minutes of checks, heart rate/blood pressure/blood sugar, ECG, etc these symptoms gradually started to wear off, but it took a good hour to do so and like many have said my hands afterwards still were feeling very achey.
I've never experienced this side of a panic attack and it was really frightening.
I can't even see a reason as to why it happened. Usually I know when I'm worrying about something and I know when I'm going to have one, but today was different.
I really don't want this to happen again, but next time at least I will know what it is.

This happened to me, too! I was at a wedding reception (was in the wedding party) and thought I was overheated. Went inside to get some fresh air and started breathing heavy. Tingling set in all over and my hands turned inwards and my arms locked up. Had to sit down because I felt very faint. The pain of my hands and arms was awful. When the tingling hit around my mouth, my speech became slurred and it became more and more difficult to talk. I was so scared I was having a stroke. Friends called 911 and I was carried out of the wedding reception on a stretcher. Once in the ambulance, my hands started to loosen some and by the time I got to the hospital, they had really loosened up, though I was incredibly sore. Docs told me it was a result of my potassium and calcium levels drastically dropping due to hyperventilating and that's what caused my hands and arms to lock up. I was so so scared. I never want that to happen again!
I'm sorry I've come so late on the scene to respond to this question, but I hope I can help. I have had chronic Tetany since 2007, cause by a brain tumor. However I was not properly diagnosed until 2010. I understand how frightening this can be. I was given seizure medication, but received no relief. Finally I found a neurologist who tried medication meant for anxiety. After trying one with some measure of success, we continued to tweet the meds until one resolved the Tetany unless I hypo or hyperventilation for an extreme amount of time.
My experience has been that going to the E.R. is absolutely useless. Most doctors don't even know what Tetany is and there really isn't much they can do about it except get you to relax and stay hydrated. My episodes last for about an hour and I have found that it is just best to take some Excedrin and sleep for a bit. I gets your muscles to relax and helps you breath regularly.
Most of all, if it happens again, find a neurologist who knows about Tetany and work with them. Hope things are better for you by now!

Hi, I'm 18 and I also struggle with major panic attacks which sometimes cause me to vomit. A few weeks ago I went to the ER for antinausea treatment (sometimes I can't stop vomiting) and on the way experienced my hands being drawn together and legs and hands tingling. The nurse assured me it was hyperventalation induced tetany and it was not serious. I felt terrified too. I hope that you feel more validated; it can feel quite lonely when no one seems to understand your problems. Fortunately, there are always people that care! I hope you feel less anxious. =)
The internet sure is a great thing to have when you've had this sort of thing happen to you and do some research. This has happened to be in the past when I have gotten upset during arguments, during a massage when I start breathing intensely in response to old muscle patterns letting go, and it happened to me very severely the other day when I went to get blood drawn for some blood tests. My hands and feet curled in so badly I was convinced that my ankles and wrists were going to snap and break! I began shouting for the staff to pull apart and unfurl my hands and feet, hollering that I was going to break if they didn't. They called the paramedics, but by the time they got there it had passed. I was exhausted and sore. My daughter, who is 4, was with me and she kept asking me if I was dying. I said 'no', but the panic combined with the tetany made me wonder if indeed I would die. The last couple of days I have been very worried I might have a thyroid condition or something dreadful underlying this--but researching online and on forums such as this it seems most likely that it is a common panic-attack reaction which comes as a result of hyperventilation. Another site said when you hyperventilate, it causes your blood levels of calcium to drop and calcium;magnesium have a huge role in muscle contractions. A fluke thing for us nervous folks, I hope, and not some lurking disease!
I was feeling a little off last year, and came out of the shower short of breath... I sat down because I felt like I was going to pass out, and my breathing became more and more difficult to control. I had to lay on the floor and was fighting extremely hard for every breath. That's when my hands started to curl in on themselves very tightly - it was a very uncomfortable feeling, and breathing was so hard, I could scarcely call my girlfriend and tell her to call an ambulance. My legs started to go into a spasm and cramp then, and my head was experiencing severe pins and needles - I figured my body was shutting down due to lack of oxygen. I told my girlfriend I loved her, because I really thought my game was up. The Parisian firemen arrived to the apartment within a few minutes, and instantly said it was 'tetany' which didn't mean anything to me!
They helped me get my breathing back. I was almost naked bar my dressing gown, and it took a good while before my clawed hands could move enough so that I could get dressed and go to hospital. By midday I'd seen a doctor, had a blood test and had left, feeling quite good, but a bit shaken. Glad I know what it is, thanks to reading about it on the Internet. :) I saw a doctor a week later, and she wondered if I had anxiety induced asthma, or whether asthma had caused the anxiety which resulted in the tetany, as it's hard to diagnose between the two. Touch wood, it's more than a year on, and I've not had a repeat.

I've had this happen to me twice. Once during an argument and the second time on an airplane. First my hands started seizing up, then my toes, and everything just started curling inward. My panic attack kicked into full gear when I realized I was starting to slur my speech. I was absolutely terrified and thought that that was it, that I was going to die right then. Paramedics were called both times, and they said they get the same call for this sort of thing pretty much every day. They basically just talked me out of it and made me laugh, which helped me to catch deep breaths. Panic attack solved, tetany still to deal with. The first time it happened the paramedics told me to hold my breath for 10 counts. The second time it happened I was trying to do that and those paramedics told me not to. I did it anyway when they weren't looking, and it seemed to help me get "unstuck" faster. (Do not take that as medical advice!!) When people told me to "calm down" or "try and relax" that didn't help at all, nor does it help when I'm having a regular panic attack, sans-tetany. What does help is people talking about other things, asking me questions that I have to speak to answer, and realizing that the I'm-Going-To-Die thoughts ARE the panic attack. They're not real! The paramedics told me that even if you do pass out from tetany, it's not dangerous at all, and your body is just trying to reset its self. You can not die from this. The worst thing that happened to me is that I took the next two days off work because every muscle in my body hurt so bad. That wasn't so horrible, now was it?
Well unfortunately it is not uncommon in people with anxiety and it is something I have suffered with many many many times...to the point that I no longer actually fear this I just let it pass..."if you resist it will persist" doesn't sound easy and when it's happening it is very very scary. I first experienced this however long before my anxiety started ...during sex and at the time I had no clue why my hands were 'stuck' in a awkward position and my lips felt like they were almost curling up around my teeth...I have learned that is it because of the way we are breathing that causes this to happen (which explains the bedroom incident) best way to get it to go away, very conscious slow breathing from the diaphram...it helps me every single time. I have also learned over the years that you can almost feel it coming on when it is still much more mild...ie hands become funny feeling and start to want to curl into the claw again but with the breathing it has been 100% successful for me to stop it in it's tracks...may not work for everyone but it has been a life saver for me.
I also had a tetany episode, where my fingers got all stiff.
I have had panic attacks in the past, but this occurred when I had a high fever. I guess the anxiety from the high fever caused me to hyperventilate thereby setting off the tetany.
When I got to the ER I could not move my hands nor my feet and I had tingling sensations around my face. I got injected with muscle relaxants and they took a CAT-scan of my head. My mobility came back a few minutes later. It was really scary.
Now I am battling anticipatory anxiety of this and have tingling toes and fingers now and then. Hopefully it will go away.

This actually happened to me last night. The ER nurse said it was due to hyperventilation. My hands started tingling, then my chest, my mouth, lips and my hands and arms contracted into this weird claw like position. After I was in the ER it went away after about 6 minutes or so, but my hands were very twitchy afterwards.
this happened to me yesterday i have never been so terrified 24 hours later im still trembling good luck to you
This is caused by hyperventilation. I haven't had it before but I know someone who did and it took quite a while (a few hours) for her to come right. Her hands went like a claw.
I want to say "try to relax" but I know that is too hard. Try not to fight a panic attack. Let it wash over you and say "do your worst". It is good you phoned 911 the first time as now you know it there is nothing wrong with your physical health.
Good luck.

I'm responding to this because:
1. Your question needs an answer, so at least this response will bump it to the top and hopefully get some attention, and,
2. I'm stupid. I've heard of most words, and made up a bunch of others, but have no clue as to what tentany is all about. If I had to guess I would say it is a muscial term meaning "rhythym established in a small jazz combo by tapping quickly on a cymbal with an old shoe" or something like that.
Oh yes, and:
C. I would like to know the answer as well.
Anyone got any help for this?
