Panic disorder and the respiratory system: clinical subtype and challenge tests.
- Authors
Freire, Rafael C; Nardi, Antonio E
- Abstract
Respiratory changes are associated with anxiety disorders, particularly panic disorder (PD). The stimulation of respiration in PD patients during panic attacks is well documented in the literature, and a number of abnormalities in respiration, such as enhanced CO2 sensitivity, have been detected in PD patients. Investigators hypothesized that there is a fundamental abnormality in the physiological mechanisms that control breathing in PD.
