Abstract
Increases in the anxiety ratings, heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were compared in eight panicking and 57 nonpanicking panic disorder patients during placebo (dextrose) infusions. Heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased significantly in placebo-infused panickers, but these increases did not correlate well with increases in anxiety.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
