severe psychological events can potentially cause hallucinations but i think it's rather uncommon for a panic attack to do so. it would not be impossible however for you to have the panic attack first and the hallucination to begin afterwards. it's possible that you simply noticed the visual disturbance before the physical sensation of being afraid and that coming down from the panic left you physically or emotionally tired. i would recommend that you tell someone if this happens again since a lot of other things can cause hallucinations. it's possible that this was an isolated incident but it never hurts to be sure <positive_smiley>
can panic attacks cause hallucinations? . i'm a 15 year old girl and i've always had anxiety but never any panic attacks. last night however i was sitting alone in my sunroom when a large shadow seemed to begin growing before my eyes. it kept growing and i got so terrified. i have never been that scared before. it was true fear in the pit of my stomach. my body was trembling and i could barely move. my heart was racing and i was sweating. i eventually calmed myself by singing. once i was calm i felt very very tired. what was this?
