hey people, this is my first post so please forgive if this is in the wrong forum or something >.<
I have panic attacks related to emetophobia (fear of vomit) and during my last attack I noticed that my pupils were dilating and constricting rapidly. They went from very small to huge then back again, continuing at the same pace even after the majority of the attack had passed and I was left with just the usual nausea and shakyness. Eventually the alternating slowed then stopped. The whole episode of it lasted at least 45 minutes, though I only noticed that it was happening halfway through the attack so I'm not sure if it started right away or part way through.
I've been trying to find out if this is normal for a panic attack, but have only found information about pupil dilation instead of the alternating that I've experienced. Please reply if you've had the same thing happen, or if you have any information. Thanks for your time and such!
