Could Low Blood Pressure And Anxiety Be Due To Panic Attacks?

My step daughter is visiting on vacation. We were having our nails done and the place smelt strongly of chemicals. Here finger got a small cut and they put something on. At that moment, she says she got dizzy, couldn't see and got nautious. I took her outside and had her sit on the ground. She lay down for at least 10 minutes until her dad arrived and we took her home. She has low blood pressure and anxiety, and she has had panic attacks in the past. When I Googled her symptoms, it came up with panic attack. I had just finished telling her that when my husband showed up, asked her what was wrong, and she began to cry. Does this sound like a panic attack to you?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi

I understand your concern.

It is basically stress reaction due to injury.

Everyone has that type of reaction for a while while got injured.

This symptoms arise due to sympathetic hyperactivity and nor epinephrine dishrags from brain.

But gradually it will decrease by time.

No need to do extra treatment.

It is not panic attack.

Just do support to her and explained her how this all occur and common reaction.

Strengthen her confidence.

Thank you.
